And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

What Gromit said. The shuttle was an accident waiting to happen. They knew, almost from Day 1, that the solid rocket boosters were a potential problem. They also knew, from the first launch, that the chance of losing a shuttle from a foam or ice strike against the tiles was pretty damned high, especially after Freon was banned and they had to go to a 'green' insulation alternative on the main tank.
