James' contributions to this thread suggest there needs to be a serious investigation into the practices of WWF in the 90's

Im sure that Vince was found not guilty, to be honest listening to the podcasts, I cannot think of a worse lifestyle than what these men and girls were putting themselves through

I didn't and don't follow it and sorry, so don't get your reference but so many men dieing in their 40s and 50s isn't normal

A combination of steroids, addiction to painkillers and multiple undiagnosed concussions coupled with a brutal travel schedule. It is a freakishly high number of people that die relatively young

 

[Pablowolf]

Doesn't all that massively enlarge their heart as well?

Don't mate, get the original Farewell concert by all means but the return concerts were akin to buying a 1997 bottle of Patris for £250 and then finding out that some one had mixed it with lemonade, and I worshipped Cream for years ! This is purely my opinion by the way

Alexei leonov 85, proper hero and brave man,first person to walk in space,would you have left the capsule and gone into space in an untried suit? No, me neither. If you've never read what happened,google it,it's quite the boys owns action story

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Leonov, Gagarin, Tereshkova, Shepherd, Grissom, Chaffee, Armstrong, Aldrin, etc etc etc

Laika the dog

All the space explorers were insanely brave and their bravery should always be saluted.

 

[Keef]

I'm on the side of the Russians space wise,doing it on the cheap,but comprehensively beating the Americans every time,think Tereshkova is still the only woman to command a space flight.
You're right though all proper brave heroes,it's just we've become blasé about space flights
