American one are called astronauts, Russians are called cosmonauts, can't remember the chinese name, what's the word in Arabic, or German, or Australia, and stuff. Just curious.

Oh--Wow. They travel all the way up to LEO. They definitely deserve the title "spacemen."

Chinese would be called: Taikonauts
