  1. Knew about it from a fictionalized story in the "Belisarius" alternate history novel series. I had already known about Christian Ethiopia, and had heard of it's association with the biblical Queen of Sheba and the Ethiopian eunuch, but I never heard of "Axum" as the novel spells it, till I read "Belisarius".

  2.  @littlefluffybushbaby7256  Taking something somebody else owns is not the same thing as using your personal weight allowance for profit. It wasn't illegal, and nobody was harmed. Sounds like NASA and the Senate were just mad they didn't think of it first.

  3.  @Mr._Burns28  Don't be obtuse. You praised somebody for bravery facetiously. He hadn't claimed to do anything brave, and you had no reason to assume that he did. This is mockery (albiet feeble).

  4.  @BrilliantDesignOnline  Ken Mattingly was not one of the Mercury 7, but he was one of the Apollo astronauts who later flew the Shuttle, Young was an Apollo astronaut who commanded the first Shuttle flight.

  5.  @DesertRat332  So nobody can contradict something they disagree with in the comments section, for fear of promoting it?

  6. 2:46 is somewhat misleading. The gospels mentioned do not refer to the destruction of Jerusalem as an historical event, they record Jesus prophesying this event. So they must have been written after 70 AD.. IF CHRISTIANITY IS FALSE. Adjust your datings accordingly.

  8.  @philgiglio7922  Astronaut and Cosmonaut fatalities during spaceflight: 18 Astronaut and Cosmonaut fatalities during training and equipment testing: 13 Non-Astronaut/Cosmonaut fatalities associated with spaceflight: Fatalities caused by rocket explosions: 196 Other non-astronaut/cosmonaut fatalities: 28 Caveats: 1. This includes all nations space programs, not just US and USSR/Russia. 2. The non-astronaut figures include deaths associated with unmanned space missions. 3. The USSR and China figures are the respective government figures, and frankly, communist governments lie a lot. The figures are probably higher for their incidents (in some cases there is independent evidence of this), and some incidents probably were not reported. 4. "Not included are accidents or incidents associated with intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) tests, unmanned space flights not resulting in fatality or serious injury, or Soviet or German rocket-powered aircraft projects of World War II. Also not included are alleged unreported Soviet space accidents" (from article) (I had to remove the url citation from this to make sure the channel rules wouldn't auto-shadow-delete it.) Accidents, including fatalities, have always been associated with: 1. construction. 2. transportation. 3. industrial activity 4. exploration. 5. cutting edge technological programs and of course, 6. space travel, which incorporates all of the above.
