    Astronauts were not supposed to cash in on their missions.

Seems to me this is the best question this article raises. Thoughts? I consider the astronauts who have left Earth's orbit to be some of the bravest people who ever lived, and in no way was the reward they were given compensatory for the danger they were in and the importance they had. Disciplining them for profiting off of a great act is out of line.
