Commentary: CDR Scott left on the Moon a plaque bearing the names of fourteen men—eight astronauts & six cosmonauts—who had died in the exploration of space: the four cosmonauts from the Soyuz 1 & Soyuz 11 disasters, the three astronauts from the Apollo 1 disaster, four astronauts & one cosmonaut who died in aircraft crashes, one astronaut who died in an automobile crash, & one cosmonaut who died of illness unrelated to space activities. After returning to Earth, Scott said he'd wished two more names had been on a plaque: a cosmonaut who died in a fire eerily similar to the Apollo 1 fire & a cosmonaut who committed suicide three years after being booted from the cosmonaut corps.

With the plaque, Scott placed Fallen Astronaut, a crude, I would even say amateurish sculpture by a Belgian who doesn't deserve to be called an artist. Fallen Astronaut is offensively bad, so much so as to be, in your humble narrator's opinion, an insult to the men honored on the plaque. Beauty is not entirely subjective; there are such things as objectively good art & objectively bad art. Fallen Astronaut is objectively bad art.
