NY Times: "Brazil's Man in Space: A Mere 'Hitchhiker,' or a Hero?"
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/08/wo...cas/08rio.html I particularly enjoyed the photo of Pontes in a zero-G airplane flight, captioned "Col. Marcos Pontes in antigravity training." Way to go, NY Times 'space experts'. By the way -- regarding my question at launch, has anybody heard any mention by Pontes or any other Brazilian commentators about any commemoration of the workers killed in the rocket disaster at Alcantara? Or was that event too much of a "downer" to mention on this mission?
