My hearts go out to all involved in the tragedy.
Wasnt this the third tragedy, after Apollo and Challenger?
Apollo was not a *space shuttle* mission. Dze27
Wasn't he the payload specialist
- No, he was not. See http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/shuttle/ and other wiki articles B
From that page...
The STS-107 crew: Seated in front are Commander Rick D. Husband, Mission Specialist Kalpana Chawla and Pilot William C. McCool. Standing are Mission Specialists David M. Brown, Laurel B. Clark and Michael P. Anderson, and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon Vera Cruz
- Yes you're right Vera...some one screwed up my original posting from that website on the disaster page. B
- Not a bad article, but I must admit that my skin crawls a bit when I see 'internment' and Auschwitz in the same sentence. I'm unsure it's the right word; One doesn't usually think of interners (uh, there has to be a better word here) intending internees for death, which was fairly clearly the intent. Could we think of a better word? (Imprisonment? Captivity? I'm unsure if there's a non-POV word that would work, but internment seems rather...happy-sounding. Like you got locked in a resort somewhere.) -134.198.241.50 23:48, 1 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Imprisonment seems to imply criminal captivity (whether or not that is the textbook definition). I prefer "captivity". Objections to an edit to "captivity", or some other word? (i.e. would like to rule out "internment" for the previous poster and "imprisonment" when describing being "in" Auschwitz) jewbacca 00:36, May 23, 2004 (UTC)
