The manned exploration of space is a dengerous endeavour, participated in by men and women who understand the risks and the dangers of what they do.

As the mariners of the age of discovery knew, when you step into the unknown there is no guarentee of return.

These seven brave souls who have given their lives for the future of the species, irrespective of their nations of birth and beliefs, whether from ally or foe, are deserving of all the admiration and praise that we can muster.

May their souls be held forever in the hands of their Gods and their memory light the way to the stars.

We will return.

Progress TM is a refueling/cargo vassel. Basically a Soyuz without Reentry module ,without solar pannels and enlarge Command module and redesign as a CARGO space.

Ice it can push the space station . They did it more than twice on MIR and i think also on ISS. The only problem is the finishing the ISS assembly witch depended on the material sended by Shuttle.
