He's not pining, he's passed on!

If they hadn't nailed him to the perch, he'd be pushing up the daisies!

He's shuffled of the mortal coil rung down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! This is an EX-PARROT!

All interesting, though what really caught my eye (ha ha) was the first one, on cataracts. I was wondering how many cases of cataracts one would normally expect to see in a group this size, and at what ages. If this is a significant increase, then it'll be VERY important for our current/future astronauts that we have an effective way of blocking the damaging radiation. The longer they spend in space, the more risk they will endure. Do you know if they have something now that they didn't used to?
