Should NASA continue with the shuttle launch despite technical difficulties?

Asked at Massachusetts Street on July 26, 2005

“Sure. They should continue if they think it will lead to something productive.”

“No. I don't think they should put peoples lives in danger for their own benefit.”

“I trust their calculations to a point, but not when it comes to human lives. Especially in light of their recent difficulties.”

“They should hold off and make sure all of the technical difficulties are taken care of, because we wouldn't want to have another tragedy.”
