What a whackaloon!
I love what John Young says to him:
"I'm going to give you the opportunity to get knocked in the head if you don't leave me alone!"
"I'm going to give you the opportunity to get knocked in the head if you don't leave me alone!"
John Young is my hero, and not just for that comment. NASA broke with established policy and never flew an unmanned shuttle to test the launch & re-entry system. John Young (along with pilot Robert Crippen) flew the Columbia into orbit and returned to Earth, proving that the Space Shuttle could carry men into space and return them safely home. Never mind that he also walked on the moon and I think still holds the orbital altitude record from Gemini 10.
