Chys:


SPANDEX SPACE! *Gundam Wing anime joke about Heero pulling guns from 
his skin tight shorts.*

Honestly though, I never understood that part of the story. Maybe 
that's part of the mystery of the veil, and why it's located in the 
DOM so they can study it? Maybe no one really knows if you die when 
you go through it, I can imagine some fearless adventurers had walked 
through to never return, and that could have brought up questions on 
the destination. (Although JKR said he's dead... so maybe she knows.)

It reminds me of a book, the novella: 'The Crystal Ship' where 
there's a pool of water (or some substance) on board the ship, and if 
you throw yourself into the water, you travel across space to another 
world (The homeworld, supposedly) but you can never return, and so 
it's thought of as a death when one sends themselves to the unknown 
place, not knowing if they made it there or if they will ever be 
back. It's a one way trip to a long forgotten place, the place of 
your origin. (I recommend that book, if you like furres or anthros, 
it's an older sci-fi with a few other stories too.)

The Sirius death scene always reminded me of this.
