Hey, I wish my life were as glamorous as the astronauts!!!!!  BTW, I 
am NOT saying that the items I listed ARE causal effects. I am 
saying that trying to associate a death due to the fact that one 
went into space is like taking any facet of one's life, and then trying 
to associate it with the ultimate death. I just happen to believe one 
is then just looking for an easy explanation. The man got leukemia 
.. he died. My father got leukemia ... he didn't go into space, he 
never received any extensive radiation treatments .. he still died 
from it less than a year ago. People do just die from illness. That 
was the point..

Thanks for allowing me to vent ;)
