Try talking to one of the families involved (I HAVE.)

Then you should have no problem providing the names of the people you talked
to about this.

Don't believe me?

Why should we? More to the point, if you've done your homework, you wouldn't
expect us to believe you- you've be providing the verifiable evidence.

Oberg acts
like he knows everything about the space program

He's demonstrated that he knows a great deal more about it than you do. More
importantly, he doesn't expect us to believe him, he provides *detailed,
relevant, verifiable references* to support his claims. Where are yours? How
often has, say, CNN or MSNBC called you for comment on space matters?

Had it not been for Johnny, Jim Lovell WOULD have been
the Mercury "Seventh.")

You'd do well to provide evidence for the legion of unsupported claims
you've already made before adding yet another one. Got any documentation on
*this* claim, especially considering how it conflicts with the verifiably
documented evidence that shows that there were only supposed to be six in
the original class, but that the candidates they selected were so superior
that they could not eliminate the seventh?

Well, given the fact that the "seventh" basically bought his way in,
and given the fact that NO ONE who flew with him for NASA would argue
for an instant he was NO astronaut (that part of Tom Wolfe's story was
dead-on), and given the fact that Lovell came within a hair of making
the cut for the Mercury 7, what part of the math does not add up for
you?
Need to know where to find Captain Lovell to ask him? Try the
Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. I have his email address if you
need it.
