Obviously the crew had no way to get home. Would apollo continued to
possibly recover the astronauts bodies? *was there any way to even get
the bodies home?

Were there any plans for such a sad event? Or one where the LM crew
gets stranded on the surface? leaving the CM pilot to come home alone?

yeah i know its a gruesome topic but do wonder if there were any plans
for such outcomes?

would the 13 SM defect had been found with a crew stuck in orbit?

More "what if" b.s.? *I don't consier that history, I consider it
fiction.

call it whatever you want. the military tries its best to return all
dead military members to their family.I recently had a realtive in
afghanistan see his best friend die. kevin had to kill the 13 year old
aghanistan kid who killed his buddy, then drag his buddys body back to
a safer place.

NASA was not, and is not, part of the military.

so would nasa just leave the dead crew, but continue flying more
missions? or try to recover the bodies however they could.

Why would it matter? *Dead is dead. *Declare the site a memorial and let
the bodies rest in peace.

if a soyuz has a problem in transit to ISS and the crew dies are there
any plans to attempt recovering the bodies?

If it can be controlled from the ground, no doubt the Russians would try
to land as close as they can to the normal recovery zone. *If not, then
orbital decay will take care of "recovery".

Your morbid curiosity is quite disturbing when combined with your
chicken little paranoia. *You must think the whole world is out to get
you.

you know if manned flight continues, espiclly if mars becomes a
destination bad days can occur

A "bad day" can occur driving to work. *Do you have any idea how many
people in this world are killed by traffic accidents every single day?

and look how long challeger debris recovery continued with emphasis on
the crew compartment...

True, but that is standard operating procedure in the case of any
accident. *For a disabled or damaged craft on the moon (or pretty much
anywhere beyond LEO), this isn't practical.

The best terrestrial example I can think of is Mt. Everest. *Sure, it
*might* be possible to recover the many bodies that litter that
mountain, but for the ones at the highest altitudes (i.e. in the "death
zone", where you're going to die if you don't summit and leave quickly),
it's just not practical. *So the bodies still remain on the mountain.

ok to make it clear you believe that if anyone dies in space its best
to not attempt recovery of their body?

the challenger bodies and crew compartment were in deep water off the
coast......

but its ok to recover gus grissoms mercury capsule that sunk so long
ago in very deep water?
