It's not terrorism, it's just a disaster. I can't form an actual opinion right now.

Not only is this a tragic day due to loss of life, but it sets the American space progam back many years.

It isn't an act of terrorism, we know that, so why would they be pissed??
Columbia was the first space shuttle. It flew 28 missions. It is the oldest space shuttle in NASA. This disaster has set back the space program. NASA has temporarily canceled the space program.

This disaster has set back the space program. NASA has temporarily canceled the space program. What does NASA do then? I mean, other than the space program? Anyway, Id love to know why this isnt being more of a big deal. When the Challenger blew up, it was a huge deal. The fact that nearly every American knows what Im talking about when I say Challenger is proof of that... But this was the same thing, we lost one less American astronaut, and we had an Israeli in his place? What is the difference? Challenger mightve been more dramatic (It exploded), but thats no reason for this not to be as big a deal... I mean, in some ways it was worse. They were on their way home, back to their families. They were almost done with it. Plus, the Israeli is a national hero. Hes like Churchill or George Washington to them... I just think that not enough people really care. Were all sad, but from what Ive seen most people are just saying how sad they are and moving on. It wasnt like that with Challenger... On a side note, a few years ago I was in Florida when the Columbia launched from Cape Canaveral and we went on the tour thingy that let us see it from like 10 miles away, but it was pretty cool...

Agreed it is sad. And it's also sad that people are using it to draw attention to themselves.You know who I'm talking about..."The U.S. blew it up to kill the Israeli!"I don't think it's as sad as the "war" on Iraq. why?
Osama kills innocents=terrorism
U.S. kills innocents= war for justice

I know, how come its a different situation when people from other countries make acts of violence is terrorism and when the U.S. make similar acts they make it seem like it was for the best

OK, today a kid in my class explained to me why this isn't as big a deal as Challenger, so this was his arguement: Um, since when does massive loss of life make a smaller loss of life not important? Right, and some of this stuff is just sick, like this joke I heard today: Im sorry, thats just sick.
