12,500mph AND burning up on re-entry - Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus that's gotta smart! Obviously it's a tragedy, but what a spectacular one. AND it's got all the ingredients for a bad, made-for-TV 'drama'. The grizzled space-veteran, the four rookies, the black astronaut and the first Israeli, not to mention the amount of footage that could be poached...all in the best possible taste of course.
They didn't feel a thing though. Burning up on re-entry at that speed would have meant being burnt to ashes in a fraction of a second:
0.001 seconds:
All outer clothing and skin is stripped off
0.002 seconds:
All nerve endings and muscle tissue burnt away
0.003 seconds:
Remaining skin and bones turned to ash
See.
The person would probably have died of shock long before this all happens anyway. No pain - over in a flash.
Like I said - what a way to go...

It's the truth.
Sorry dude.
Sorry dude.
He did.
He murdered it.
I went all philosophical there.
And he killed it.
My first philisophical "I understand the meaning of life" type thingy and he killed it.

You utterly killed Azul's little poetic type moment.
Well played.

They were brave men and woman, advancing our understanding of the galaxy beyond our insignificant planet.
They knew there were thousands of dangers.
That's something that makes them even more heroic.
They were travelling past knowledge, and embracing the unkown Universe before us.
I think that is good enough to honour them.
They are heroes in their own right.

i never realised they were so many ignorant people here
And loads of space shuttles have exploded before, probably when those people were kids - didn't put them off, did it?
These things happen, everyone knows the risks - on take off and landing - I'm suprised it doesn't happen more often.
And it is a great way to go - they were astronauts for gawds sake - they went into space, how many people can say they've done that.
