   I saw the atronauts memorial while at KSC last week.  There were at
   least two, possibly three groups memorialized there I was not
   familiar with.  The Apollo 1 and Challanger astronauts I recognized.

   The ones I didn't recognize, I can't recall the names, but there
   was one involving one person, one involving two people, and a pentagram
   of stars.

The two people were Elliot See and Charlie Bassett, who died in a
MacDonnell parking lot after their T-38 clipped the corner of a
building in the fog in St. Louis (Lambert Field?).

The single person was another training accident and I don't recall the
name or circumstance, only that it involved a T-38.  I _believe_ that
the pentagram of stars refers to Cosmonaut deaths, since NASA only
claims to have lost 13 in space-related deaths (3 Apollo 1 + 7
Challenger + 2 STL + 1 ?).
