Their deaths are significant because of the way in which they died - you don't see many people dying because their space shuttle burned up upon reentry.:o

Not to mention the effect this whole event will have on NASA and our country's reputation.

Well, fair enough, but those flags weren't commemorating the suffering of NASA's PR department.
