Humanity has been tooling around in space for half a century now, and quite a few people have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of a frontier that most folks basically couldn't seem the least bit interested in. I think it's important to remember them, however, and so I present a list of fallen heroes in alphabetical order, without any of my usual editorializing.
MICHAEL J. ADAMS, American Pilot. One flight. Born 5/5/1930, died 11/15/1967. Died due to a technical failure on a flight of the third X-15 rocketplane.
