Talk:Ilan Ramon

message: Has the question of observing Jewish religious practices while in space never come up before? (I'm assuming that there have been Jews in space before Ramon, most likely Jewish-Americans.) --ThorstenNY 19:55, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Your question is answered at the bottom of the Telegraph article Jerusalem We Have a Problem.  BTW this article also shows that the phrase was coined much before it was used by the rabbi at the commemoration, so I'm not sure why his use of it is mentioned in the article. 70.21.2.147 (talk) 02:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

:and his Yartzeit is exactly 2 weeks after Tu Bishvat, the Jewish holiday celebrating trees (and new fruits), also called Rosh HaShanah La'ILANot.
This is pointless. If his Yahrtzeit was at least on the same it may have had some shadow of relevance, but "two weeks" is arbitrary. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 18:20, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

message: What the source says is "The pages [of his diary] were found in a field just outside of Palestine, Texas", not that he died there. I'm restoring this to be consistent with the infoboxes of ALL the other astronauts who perished in this accident. Eat memory (talk) 08:31, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Place of death 

message: It should be added that there's a crater named after Ramon on the moon, inside the Apollo crater, as there are for the rest of his friends. Details here:

message: Assaf Ramon, who also tragically died in an aircraft accident, should have all the content merged into this page (though much of it already exists here). For better or worse, every Israeli pilot, regardless of their parentage, does not deserve their own page. Bangabandhu (talk)

message: Could somebody, please, investigate the ancient Spanish ancestors of Ilan Ramon? (Perhaps creating a new article for the surname).
It would help to avoid mistakes like the one Mr. Ramon made when considered this surname "more Israeli".
The name Ramón is Spanish. It's used more as a given name and it became also a surname because until the 15th century Spanish people used the name of the father as surname, sometimes without any alteration, like this one.
You can check this at this application at the Spanish Statistics Institute (INE). You only have to push the "Total" icon, fill in the Surname and push "Submit" to get a list and a map showing the distribution of frequencies of the surname through the Spanish provinces. 81.61.3.80 (talk) 17:58, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: His name has nothing to do with anything Spanish. He took the name from Makhtesh Ramon in the Negev,which was called Wadi Ruman in Arabic. Israel's founders Hebraicized it to "Ramon". If you read Hebrew, see a linguistic explanation here: https://hebrew-academy.org.il/2019/03/26/%d7%a8%d7%9e%d7%95%d7%9f/. Yitz711 (talk) 16:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
