Jim McDivitt question
Wikipedia says Jim McDivitt would have been up for Apollo 14 LMP if
not for internal politics. McDivitt states in his NASA oral history that "I had an opportunity to fly command Apollo 13," which URL:http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~oard/apollo/poss_moonwalkers.html notes is unclear on whether he meant the flown 13 or 14. My questions: * Was McDivitt ever up for an LMP slot? * If so, why would NASA have considered him for such a role, given that he had already served twice as commander, including the first rookie commander on Gemini 4? Wouldn't an LMP spot have been seen by him and by everyone else as a demotion? -- URL:http://www.pobox.com/~ylee/ PERTH ---- * |
