It'd be a different story if it was a Canadian or New Zealand astronaut.
Dude, why are you bringing me into this?
BTW, I can see what Pyr0 is trying to say. But it is rather distasteful to try and say it on a memorial thread....I mean, you wouldn't go to someone's funeral and start saying shit about how its bullshit, and no one cares about the death....
Tripper has got a point. Do you go to a funeral for someone you dont know and say they sucked and your glad their dead because there from anotehr country...no you dont
My sympathy for the astronauts who lost their lives for exploring the new frontier for mankind. People like them should have as much respect as soldiers, hell probably more then soldiers.
