And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

For a few minutes recently, there were 19 people in space, the most there has ever been.
More if you count Scotty's ashes, and Gene Roddenberry's, and Gordon Cooper. I think there's even a guy on the moon and a few others. Nobody has asked to be shot into the sun yet, but I think that would be pretty neat, considering origins of the universe and all that.
I've seen a video where Buzz Aldren denounced to a little girl we never landed on the moon. Not sure if he was senile, drunk, or stone cold sober. But seriously WTF? What is the reality behind that one?
Looks like 10 from the US, 3 from Russia, 2 from Japan, 1 from Germany and 3 from Red China. Right?
