Let me suggest that you learn how to use your "n" key.
Shuttle jokes are no more offensive than Rock Hudson jokes
or ethnic jokes or almost any jokes that appear on the net.
I don't understand why you are getting so upset.
Was it the seven lives? Seven is just not a big number anymore.
Look at Bhopal or Beirut or the progress of democracy in the Philippines.
People die every day.
Maybe you are upset about the $1.5 billion that went up in smoke.
Look on the bright side. Maybe the government will come to its
senses and stop pouring money into projects that could be done more reliably
and cheaply by other means. Maybe the American people will realize that
hi tech is not the wonder drug it's made out to be and that we
can't place 100% reliance on these systems. (Stop SDI now!)

Sorry to take up the space in net.jokes.
Send flames to net.columbia.
