I worked that mission at the Manned Spacecraft Center)


Wow- cool job, really. I was watching it (11yrs old) and was so excited. I wanted to go to space too! Till I was old enough to plan a career, when I found out poor vision and too short were insurmountable obstacles...

Don’t know about height requirements, but one of book writing TFNG crop said he took a spare pair of glasses for his ride(s) on the SST.

He was a West Pointer that went USAF, became a REO in a RF-4, and flew around 80 missions in Vietnam.
