If the Heaven's Gate folks have (or could have) regrets (other than 
wearing Nikes), they might involve missing the "coronal mass ejection" 
which "sent an expanding ball of plasma, or electrically charged 
particles, racing outward from the sun at more than 1.5 million miles per 
hour.... "
Or, perhaps they have a better view ;-).
BTW, did anyone read and/or hear about the solar storm before today's 
newspaper?  It was supposedly detected 7AM Monday by the Solar and 
Heliosperic Observatory satellite.  The delay in mass media reporting 
seems rather odd...
