Spender should have killed Wilder, not Briggs

Briggs wasnt that sensitive, and was a jerk, so what?

he was just a working man doing his job, and he's killed along with two other working class astronauts.

meanwhile, Wilder, who was the head of getting Americans up onto Mars, and who is the primary reason that Briggs was even up there in the first place, and whose entire life depended on going to Mars and who even kept talking the "evil" government into it, doesn't die, simply because he "feels" for what's happened on Mars.

IN OTHER WORDS, Wilder feels "bad" for what HE HAS CAUSED (HE, WILDER, sent those ships to Mars who had chicken pox), so he's a good guy just for feeling a little guilty, while Briggs, just a guy working for a living, is killed for being rude and obnoxious, ie, insensitive, ignorant.

lame!!

if Spender was really that angry, he should have killed ONLY Wilder, and realized that the others were just ignorant puppets all following his, Wilder's, orders to go to Mars.

Briggs Canal was named in Brigg's honor.

long live the memory of Briggs.

the poor guy was just relaxing, splashing his feet around.

oh Briggs, God bless you.
