Smilies Legend
[i]It is thought that the term 'astronautics' was first used by Belgian science fiction author J.J. Rosny in 1926. Astronautics and astronauts had certainly been accepted into the language by 1930. These words combine the Greek words 'astron'(star) and 'nautes' (sailor); thus, an astronaut is literally a sailor among stars.[/i]
