Review about Countdown One Problem | Reviewer: Chris | 7/26/2007 The song was written before any of the shuttles were lost. It was a powerful song at the time, and the disasters have made it even more so. Is this review helpful to you? Yes No Awesome | Reviewer: GMan | 7/14/2007 Being a person who actually knew people who died when Challenger exploded, this is a fitting tribute to the men and women who aspire for the stars and are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. America is behind our Space program, we need to make the politicians aware of this. Is this review helpful to you?
