Well, there are 3 people still up in the International Space Station who have to get back home <i>sometime</i>. Plus, Bush addressed in his speech that the space program will continue which hopefully means there will be no NASA budget cuts...
I'm sure once we learn exactly what went wrong and fix it, shuttle launches will continue as normal.
On another note, it really pisses me off how stupid people are picking up the debris. Not only are they being hospitalized for be exposed to toxins, but they're handling any evidence we have to figure out what went wrong. We can't move forward if we don't know what went wrong. Handling the evidence makes man kind take one small step backwards.
