    *Absolutely* no offence taken. With the greatest of due respect -- I
will be attending the telecast of the memorial service at the local science
centre within the half hour -- the Columbia seven died in the name of
science, but the name of science did not die with them. If any scientific
observations, and I mean ANY, can come from the mission, it will have
achieved a small measure of success. If the debris that remained from the 80
science experiments on board can tell us something in how it fell to Earth,
then I think we should be paying attention.
