[edit] Second (?)

My hearts go out to all involved in the tragedy.

Wasnt this the third tragedy, after Apollo and Challenger?

AntonioMartin

Apollo was not a *space shuttle* mission. Dze27

[edit] Payload specialist (?)

Wasn't he the payload specialist

No, he was not. See http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/shuttle/ and other wiki articles B

From that page...

The STS-107 crew: Seated in front are Commander Rick D. Husband, Mission Specialist Kalpana Chawla and Pilot William C. McCool. Standing are Mission Specialists David M. Brown, Laurel B. Clark and Michael P. Anderson, and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon Vera Cruz

Yes you're right Vera...some one screwed up my original posting from that website on the disaster page. B

[edit] 'Internment'

Not a bad article, but I must admit that my skin crawls a bit when I see 'internment' and Auschwitz in the same sentence. I'm unsure it's the right word; One doesn't usually think of interners (uh, there has to be a better word here) intending internees for death, which was fairly clearly the intent. Could we think of a better word? (Imprisonment? Captivity? I'm unsure if there's a non-POV word that would work, but internment seems rather...happy-sounding. Like you got locked in a resort somewhere.) -134.198.241.50 23:48, 1 Feb 2004 (UTC)

• Imprisonment seems to imply criminal captivity (whether or not that is the textbook definition). I prefer "captivity". Objections to an edit to "captivity", or some other word? (i.e. would like to rule out "internment" for the previous poster and "imprisonment" when describing being "in" Auschwitz) jewbacca 00:36, May 23, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Other Jews in Space?

Has the question of observing Jewish religious practices while in space never come up before? (I'm assuming that there have been Jews in space before Ramon, most likely Jewish-Americans.) --ThorstenNY 19:55, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Conspiracy Theory

Given that there are no citations offered, nor any links to anywhere supporting this so-called conspiracy, does this tye of rubbish really belong on the Ilan Ramon page?

[edit] Status: Dead

That seems a bit blunt to me.

Yeah, I'm changing it to deceased. SirParagon 03:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
