Anything would probably have been vaporized under that extreme heat. On the news just now I heard that they've found what they believe to be 4 sets of human remains. The crew compartment was incredibly well-protected. I just hope that they at least lost consciousness when the ship was lost and didn't have to suffer as the Challenger crew likely did. [censored].

They don't even know exactly what caused the problem yet. Physics may not change, but designs do become better. All of the shuttles are extremely old as in stress on parts, and the design is very old. There are better designs for a Reusable Space Vehicle, but NASA does not have the funding to complete them. Hopefully this trajedy will change that. MY05 Subaru Impreza WRX STi World Rally Blue / Gold 98 Contour SVT - Sold WTS: Stock SVT Rear Sway Bar. PM me.
