Why should non-roleplayers care about the death of a spaceman mechanic?

I don't know if non-roleplayers will care about that final death. I think non-roleplayers will care about every single death, just like I think roleplayers would care about every single death, and that's just because of the items that they could be losing at that time. Now, if they become attached to the character and the way that that character looks, then I think that will influence more of their feelings towards losing that character. But again, through basically their customizing of the character, I'm sure that they can get him back to looking pretty close to that point.
