Hi Win Smith; Re: " My newspaper database shows the coverage tended to be greater where there was a local angle, e.g. Israel, India, and Milwaukee." This is my point over on the FADG thread. The shuttle program is so boring that it only makes the news with it biffs one. We should replace it with a Mars program that will at least be on the front page before the (inevitable) disaster. My guess is that NASA management is responsible for the tragedy, by insisting that the Shuttle fly even when not safe. I'll bet that we end up with the same situation as the previous shuttle disaster, where there are engineers who spoke out constantly against flying the thing. Oh, and I wouldn't be surprised if the cold weather at launch also is flagged as a problem. I'd love to see the statistics on how many tiles were lost per flight, according to the month of launch. -- Carl
