In reference to a House Bill for the L-5 society to construct a memorial
for astronauts in or near Washington:

(I made a posting a week ago on a related issue, and maybe it got lost.)

Instead of putting it in Washington, how about putting it in space, where
the astronauts were going.   This seems to be a more fitting tribute, and
seems to me to be more in line with the L-5 Society's charter.

Clearly, 5 years is too short for that to be a reality (maybe ten, though?),
but I'm quite sure that if Congress will help in the getting there, the L-5
society will be quite capable of creating a fitting memorial in space.

P.S.  Don't construe this to mean that I'm against earthbound memorials,
but rather that I believe that there are better ones.
