And the grand triumph - and awful tragedy - is that despite all the corners cut, all the engineers lowballed, all the corrupt contracting, Congressional malfeasance and general all-around shit treatment NASA gets from the rest of the government...

...those are the *only* people who have lost their lives riding in one of their vehicles.

It makes their sacrifice all the more poignant, and one I hope that we never forget as we forge forward into a likely post-NASA future.
