No. Sure, it was way back when NASA was just starting to have space shuttles and everyone knew mistakes could happen, but in this ignorant society people will point fingers at NASA because the craft blew up. Think about it, the USA dropped those 2 atom bombs on Japan for good reason, but people still curse and shame the US. It will be the same for this. No one will want to pay taxes for such a "murderous" space program, and instead of getting to Mars in 2035, we might get there in 2100 just because of an arrogant American public.
