Um, DJ, this is the first time NASA ever lost any space vehicle that had people on it on reentry. The Soviets did lose one ship during reentry in the 60's, but that's the only time that happened... thats why this is so surprising... nothing like this had happened before... I wonder how long it will take to figure out what happened, and how badly this will affect the ISS. I don't want to see something bad happen to it after all these years and billions of dollars spent on it...
