Their deaths moved up the astronaut rotation by two giving Armstrong and Aldrin the opportunity to leave tracks on the moon. `We will never forget them this morning as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.' President Reagan on the Challenger tragedy - but surely these words apply to all those those who passed on yearning to view the mother ship from above.
