Debbie Reynolds and Space History

I personally have no idea what you're talking about. Please enlighten us. She starred in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" on Broadway. The play was the inspiration for Gus Grissom calling Gemini 3 Molly Brown. I forgot about that. Pretty thin connection though. Because of what happened to his Mercury capsule, the name "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" didn't go over very well with the people in charge of publicity within NASA. It just served to remind the public that his Mercury capsule was still at the bottom of the ocean. The thesis that Debbie Reynolds played a significant role in space history outside of her performing in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" just does not hold water. FWIW the popular 60's musical is about the irascible survivor of the Titanic's maiden voyage, the nouveau riche Ms. Molly Brown. This forum has been amazingly consistent in a lack of open-minded thinking. Without even hearing the thesis, it is rejected outright. This isn't a 'forum' and it doesn't take much detail to be able to identify silly ideas. -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G. Behn |
