These people (and all the other astronauts, from whatever nation) are brave
beyond words. It was daring enough for the early explorers to sail over the
horizon, to the places marked "Here Be Monsters" on the maps. It is even
more daring to step off the planet. One day we (humans) will accept space
travel like we do driving, although it may be beyond any of our lifetimes.
And when that day comes, these people will be remembered as the ones who
dared to make it possible. They are heroes to the human race.
