Hmmm... this must be a new highlight for the Russian space program....
Mummies in Orbit?  They launch a designer to Mir who had been dead for 20
years when Mir was launched?

Sorry Rob!  I couldn't resist!  We know you meant cosmonaut Sergie Krikalov
(sp?), NOT Chief Designer Sergie Korolyov.  Another interesting anecdote
about one of Krikalov's stays aboard Mir was that (he was a civilian) he was
issued an Army draft notice while he was in orbit.  Since he did not report
as scheduled, an arrest warant was almost issued because of his absence
before it was realized by draft authorities that his was in outer space.
