Well, will they be allowed to fly the Shuttle now, after one got
killed?

NASA will certainly allow them. Soichi Noguchi of Japan is still assigned
to STS-114, as is Christer Fuglesang of ESA on STS-116. Steve MacLean and
David Williams of Canada are assigned to STS-115 and 118, respectively.
STS-121 and 116 are slated to be ISS crew rotation flights, so there will
be Russians aboard.

If any foreign astronauts are forbidden to fly on the shuttle, it will be
by their home agencies, not by NASA. JAXA has made noises about
independently evaluating NASA's safety improvements before they let Noguchi
fly, but so far all indications are that they will.
