From Paul Krugman's column regarding the Columbia on the op-ed page of today's Times

You may need to register with NYT to see this; it's free. And don't forget to lie about your age and income.

Quote:
I say this with regret. Like millions of other Americans, I dream of a day when humanity expands beyond Earth, and I'm still a sucker for well-told space travel stories — I was furious when Fox canceled "Firefly." I also understand that many people feel we shouldn't retreat in the face of adversity. But the shuttle program didn't suddenly go wrong last weekend; in terms of its original mission, it was a failure from the get-go. Indeed, manned space flight in general has turned out to be a bust.

Was it space monkeys?"

Wanna know what really angers me? The fact that Firefly could be one of the most watched shows, but the Neilsen system (and lets not forget Fox)is just so messed up!!!
I am glad to see it mentioned in the NY Times though. Maybe more will speak up.
