The point is not that they are more important. The point is that it is tragic when people die. When they die doing something that is important, like space flight, or altruistic, like missionary work, or for the greater good in any way, we celebrate their life and their sacrifice. We don't point out ways that their mission was less sucessful or important than others, and we show them and their families due respect.
