this discussion, while it may or may not be "letting us explore what we truely believe" as John B said, is getting far off track... this thread was started with the idea of a FIRST wide sticker or patch to show our respect for the DEAD astronauts... DEAD... do you go to a funeral and start arguing in public about whether or not the dead guy deserves respect? NO, you stay quite, and complain over a drink in a bar or at home... this is the same idea... i'm all for the arguement, people have to right to an opinion... but not here, please not here...
if you don't support the idea of the respect sticker, make a valid arguement, or

don't use it!?!?!?!?!
make your arguements about if the dead space men's sacrifice is equal to jumping on a grenade or dying trying to save someones life....

now to completely contradict myself and respond -
their death is completely seperate from jumping on a bomb, what they did was die trying to enchance science, their experiments up there might have led to cured cancer, or inspired some child to do so, but had nothing to do with saving lives
who could they have saved? any major bombs go off, any missiles launched? what could they have stopped on earth?
you can't say they died saving lives, but you can't dismiss the fact that they died doing something that helped other people, not themselves (sure they got money, but was it worth the risk?)
