Carpenter's comments on the safety record of the early Soviet space program.
On or about Mon, 10 Nov 2003 21:19:03 -0500, Giovanni Abrate
made the sensational claim that:
While reading Scott Carpenter's wonderful autobiography "For spacious skies"
I noticed an interesting comment on page 312 of the hardbound copy.
Commenting on the safety record of US manned space exploration at the time
of the Mercury program, Scott writes:
"The Soviets had an abominable safety record. To this day it's not clear how
many cosmonauts, researchers. and technicians died in space-related work."
Well, it's certainly a nice try, but space *related* does not mean died *IN*
space.
