"My father gave his life so all of us can survive another day."
Chloe Armstrong

Alan Armstrong was the Senator of California who, in his later life, was the political oversight to the Stargate project assigned to try dialing the ninth chevron. He was joined in this venture by his daughter, Chloe Armstrong. He saved a woman during the attack on Icarus Base. Alan sacrificed himself to save those stranded on the Destiny, by manually closing a damaged shuttle door, sealing a leak to the vacuum of space. The door could only be closed and would only stay closed from inside the shuttle. As the senator had already suffered severe injuries during the attack on the Icarus Base, he elected to close the door himself. He died of asphyxiation. (SGU: "Air, Part 2")

Since his death, one of the topics of discussion was what to do with his body. However, Everett Young has not yet decided what to do about it, since the shuttle is sealed off. (SGU: "Darkness")
