CFI: Canonical List of Sci-Fi "Real" Astronauts

....After exchanging a couple of e-mails with Mark Wade over an
addition I think needs to be made to the "Phantom Astronauts" page on
EA, I've suddenly come up with an idea for a "Canonical List" of said
Phantoms. However, since most of my time these days is spent at my
60+hour/week job, I've decided to put out a Call For Input here on the
group to see what can be dredged up. Here's the criteria:

1) As we're looking at fictional characters from "real" history, each
Phantom Astronaut must have had his/her/its career rooted in an AH
timeline where history doesn't deviate too drastically. Think how
Baxter's characters in _Voyage_, or Majors Nelson and Healey existed
in a world that wasn't that different from ours. Ergo, Warren "I'm A
Limey Egotistical ****wit!" Ellis' _Ministry Of Space_ characters
wouldn't count, but I would consider the crew of the Scorpio I, and
quite possibly four key members of the Richards Rocket Group.

2) Characters can come from TV, film, books, comics or even the
theater.

3) We're shooting for relatively well to moderately known characters.
The obscure ones we might consider, depending on background.

4) The time frame we're looking at is from 1957 up through whatever
years "The Cape" would have covered (*). Again, as close to OTL as
possible.

(*) Hmm. Must remember to put a request for a posting of that series
up on one of the binary groups :-P

5) Finally, some background about each PA's career should be included,
as well as a link to a photo if available.

candidates:
