Ask cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov (Russia Soyuz 1 flight - April 1967) His primary chute failed, his secondary fouled with the first and his capsule hit the earth faster than a bullet. Weird how things eventuate, but an American astronaut attended his funeral in the USSR and the Cold War was effectively over by that payment of respect.
