VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Of course our space program will survive.Space is our future.The space program has had tragic accidents,but we cant allow that to stop the program.Great explorations have always encountered tragedy,but the explorations must continue.Just imagine how the Colombia crew would feel if they knew their deaths caused the end of the space program.As you said,only a select few can attain the lofty goal of astronaut and once they've reached that height,surely their heart,mind and soul is consumed by the sky and what's out there.We would dishonor them to stop the program.
