Lines: 15 Xref: watmath net.columbia:2484 net.followup:5756 Summary: All of the Challenger Astronauts were covered by insurance policies. Ms McAuliff was covered by a policy for a million dollars in case of a fatal accident. Do her children really need a trust fund ? All in all I really am getting very tired of the emotional attitude that people on this net and in the press are taking. The people in 51L were very aware of the dangers involved and took necessary precautions. Isnt it time for the rest of us to take the same attitude and quit being overly dramatic at a simple fact of life - people die ? -- Kurt W. Allen 3M Center ihnp4!mmm!allen
