Nationality
editNationality should be revised. As far as I know, anyone born in Spain gets the Spanish nationality automatically, and López Alegría was born in Madrid.
No, that is a mistake. Spanish law regarding nationality is based on blood, not land--this means your nationality depends on that of your parents, not on where you were born. That is actually the norm in the majority of European (and Western) countries, with the very notable exception of the US. I have no info on the nationality of MLA, though.

longest spaceflight...
editthis article and the article on Expedition 14 differ a bit. Here it says "López-Alegría broke the record for longest spaceflight by an American astornaut." The Expedition 14 article says (I edited it because it still used future tense): "Lopez-Alegria, already the U.S. recordholder for spacewalks, now also holds the record for longest spaceflight by a NASA astronaut."
Shouldn't there be a clear distinction between a NASA astronaut and an American astronaut, even if it that meant he held both records? Or do you have to be American to be a NASA astronaut anyway? I am not sure, but wondering about this.
Oh, and what about the two ´s on his name? Allyddin Sane 10:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
