Nationality should be revised. As far as I know, anyone born in Spain gets the Spanish nationality automatically, and López Alegría was born in Madrid.

[edit] longest spaceflight...

this article and the article on Expedition 14 differ a bit. Here it says "López-Alegría broke the record for longest spaceflight by an American astornaut." The Expedition 14 article says (I edited it because it still used future tense): "Lopez-Alegria, already the U.S. recordholder for spacewalks, now also holds the record for longest spaceflight by a NASA astronaut."

Shouldn't there be a clear distinction between a NASA astronaut and an American astronaut, even if it that meant he held both records? Or do you have to be American to be a NASA astronaut anyway? I am not sure, but wondering about this.

Oh, and what about the two ´s on his name? Allyddin Sane 10:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
