    Default Alexeii Leonov Dies

    At age 85, Alexii Leonov, the first space "walker" has died.....RIP..

    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    This is just another reminder that we are at the end of an exciting era in Human history.

    He was lucky not to die on the spacewalk.
    The Americans made the same mistake because they didn't know the Russians had already learned the hard way.
    His Space suit expanded enough to make it very difficult to get back into the capsule. He had to deflate the space suit.

    If you offer me a ride into space on a Voskhod, my response would be... I think I'll walk.
    Yes I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

    Yeah, totally agree. These guys had balls of steel.

    The ship was not the issue, it was the suit. You guys are just woosies. I'll take your place.
