Re:Consequences
It's amazing the differences of the accident's aftermaths between 1986 and 2003.
In 1986, no flights for 32 months, but a new Shuttle was built and there was Reagan.
In 2003, there is continuous presence of an american in space, no expectations to build another shuttle and Bush jr.
The US should be very thankful to Russia. The problems involving the Zvezda module (that took 2 years to get into orbit) are behind us, now.
