We'd have to wait a long time for the next flight.

Unfortunately, American's have lost the fortitude to struggle through losses experienced in the advancement of any frontiers. The slightest boo-boo and they want to pull the plug on the whole program. Not that the loss of a life is a boo-boo. I am referring to unmanned missions that have failures or everyone freaking because another tiny piece of foam fell off the shuttle. News flash! That has been happening since the Shuttle program started! It just happens that one freak accident caused a disaster. Now we are so averse to ANY risk that we prefer to become paralyzed and let the rest of the world pass us by.
If American's of the past had the same attitude toward challenges that the ones of today do, we would have never undertaken flight. A lot of people died in the process of creating the relatively safe air travel system we have today. We would not be driving in automobiles, certainly not as fast as we do today. A lot of people died in the early automobile speed records where they achieved the neck-breaking speed of 25 MPH!!! If the American's of the past had the same lack of fortitude as American's do today, they probably never would have left their countries of origin to reach America in the first place.

Remember the two shuttle failures? It wasn't quite space, but we made brave sounds and went on.

They would not be the first. There power is almost at our maximum of what the rocket can stand,so there is always danger.
