Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by KenDavis: [B]Just read an intersting sentence in Spaceflight magazine: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Nik Halik paid for his training to be back-up to Richard Garriott although he would not have flown even if Garriott had been disqualified.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> My question is: what is the point of paying all that money if there is no chance of flying? Why not just save the money and buy onto a prime crew? What's the point of a back-up if they don't back-up?[/B][/QUOTE]
