But would you feel the same way if the "best person for the job" turned out to be a Muslim?

You are aware that a citizen of Saudi Arabia has flown on a previous shuttle, aren't you?

He was a member of the Saudi royal family. Flew in '84 or thereabouts, I believe.

.....citizen of Saudi Arabia......

Buzz Aldrin mentioned this earlier on one of the programs. He used the prefix "Prince" and referred to him as pilot in the Saudi Air Force.........musta been one of the royal family.
