"When ever something like this happens, I can’t stop thinking about my friend at NUSC who was bumped from USS Thresher’s last dive."

I was stationed in New London when the Thresher went down. Terrible times.

[Cold Heart]

good one

If Maxine wants to go, I’ve got an idea for a spacewalk.....

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Probably health problems since she is still on the list of people to go up. Just not this time.

It won’t be long before she plays the race card.

Winner!

[mad_as_he$$]

At 47?

[mad_as_he$$]

Yikes. Wasn’t there three or four guys in that situation?

[Textide]

First space walk using a snorkel?

[Calvin Locke]

Epps, 47, ...

Pregnant? Possible, but unlikely.

[SubMareener]

I only knew one. Life changing experience for him as he would never ride a submarine again.

[mad_as_he$$]

Can’t blame him, overall pretty safe in US subs. Russian or NORK not so much.

I can’t believe that race had anything to do with it. sxaHer Russian Soyuz commander was Sergei Prokopyev and the other flight engineer is Alexander Gerst of Germany. Had there been any racial discomfort, it would have shown itself early in the training flow. They’ve been together for about two years. They would have flown in June of this year. I say it had to do with some other issue.
