Several years ago (don't ask me how many) there were *several* postings, 
including excerpts from British newspapers, about the spate of "suicides" and 
"accidental deaths" of British space scientists in comp.risks.  If anybody is 
really interested in doing the research, instead of just sarcastically 
dismissing them as crackpot conspiracy fodder, they can look it up in the 
Risks archive.

I remember hearing this particular conspiracy theory years ago, back
when it had nothing to do with space.  Something about people employed
at a TS research facility for communications decryption -- the UK
version of the NSA.  Just because something is from across the Pond
doesn't mean that it didn't start with conspiracy theorists over
there.
