Well, sure. I mean, the genie is easy to believe in. An
astronaut who gets to fly more than John Young even when his personal
life seems to be an endless parade of weird little follies (and who
lives in Florida rather than Texas)? That's a stretch.


They had the same problem in 'The Cape', with Corbin Bernsen as Chief
Astronaut in the Shuttle era. Those guys had a flight record that made Story
Musgrave look like a rookie.
