Survivor in Space
Reassessment time, Houston Chronicle
"Some media observers commented during Discovery's 14-day flight on the morbid nature of much of the news coverage, as if viewers were hyped to rubberneck the fiery launch, the space walks and the tense re-entry to see if the crew made it back alive. After two and half years and $1.5 billion in repairs, the camera images of falling debris fueled a space spectacle akin to a NASA version of the reality show Survivor."
