Challenger, Columbia Wreckage On Public Display For First Time
An anonymous reader writes: A new exhibit at Kennedy Space Center is letting the public see wreckage from the Challenger and Columbia shuttles after keeping it from view for decades. Two pieces of debris from each lost shuttle and personal reminders of the astronauts killed in the flights will be on display. The AP reports: " NASA's intent is to show how the astronauts lived, rather than how they died. As such, there are no pictures in the 'Forever Remembered' exhibit of Challenger breaking apart in the Florida sky nearly 30 years ago or Columbia debris raining down on Texas 12 years ago. Since the tragic re-entry, Columbia's scorched remains have been stashed in off-limits offices at the space center. But NASA had to pry open the underground tomb housing Challenger's pieces — a pair of abandoned missile silos at neighboring Cape Canaveral Air Force Station — to retrieve the section of fuselage now on display."
Republicans have always profited from death. They got their start with the US Civil War before deciding to make WWI worse and deciding to corner Japan into having to fight back. They constantly start wars. That is the way of their kind. By making money off of the death of astronauts, they are spitting on their graves. Republicans have no respect for life or death. You should never vote for one of their kind.
