On my way back from school, I saw a bumper sticker that said:
"Don't hold strong opinions about things you don't understand"
In light of the recent Columbia tragedy, I think the general public, and especially the media need to read that bumper sticker. Saying "Space isn't safe" and "NASA screwed up" is irresponsible without weighing in all the facts. Of course, it's easier to just make a blanket judgement, and unfortunately that's the choice many people make.
