Since we're discussing US astronauts of Irish descent in another message, what about those with Chinese roots? A Chinese correspondent once asked me about it.I came up with the following list of names: - Taylor G. Wang
- Franklin Chang Díaz
- Edward Tsang Lu
- Leroy Chiao
Any other names?------------------ Jürgen P Esders Berlin, Germany International Director (Europe), Space Unit Vice President, Weltraum Philatelie e. V. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astroaddies |

- Shannon Lucid was born and held captive in Shanghai, China.
- Bill Anders was born in Hong Kong (though while it was under British rule).
Otherwise, I think your list is complete. |
