It's hard to imagine a scenario where this space shuttle has problems.

When the space program was first getting launched (no pun intended), NASA claimed to have failure rates of about 1 in 10,000. After the latest disaster that claim has basically been tossed out the window and most people with any knowledge of the program accept that failure rates are probably closer to 1 in 100.

I think the big question is, at that 1/100 number, are we willing to continue the space program?
