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.


And more over there are plenty of places the military has made no attempt at
recovery because the logistics make it too hard (or for other reasons).

Fred pointed out the USS Arizona is a memorial and a tomb to those who died
on that fateful day.

The USS Thresher is not a memorial, but no attempt was made to recover
bodies. It just wasn't possible.

Basically, it'll come to down "if it's reasonably feasible, they'll do what
they can, but not go nuts about it."

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.

than advanced airbreathing engines, and so are the tanks to put it in
and the extra thrust to carry it." - Henry Spencer

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

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