I wonder if there will be any juicy stories about the Artemis crews. There certainly were plenty about the Sixties astronauts, although they took a long time to come out.

Yeager was Armstrong's worst test pilot. Woh! Now I'm roped in. Gonna have to read that book. I did read Yeager's autobiography, in 1986, and I do recall he had some criticisms of Armstrong.

I'm focused right now on the Yeager character lynching going on as part of the Ed Dwight legend, are you interested in collaborating on research?

@@JamesOberg Thanks for the interest, but my interest in apace history is as a casual observer. I have no dog in that particular fight. Not even sure if you mean lynching OF Yeager or BY Yeager! BTW I think of myself as mostly a techie, but increasingly the management and human relations sides of the Space Program are what I find fascinating. Now, if you want to know about energy, climate, and the parts of futurism connected to those things, I can deluge you with all kinds of stuff. That's my real bailiwick, since about 2002. Actually, I don't even know who Ed Dwight is, but in a couple of minutes, I will. EDIT: Oh, yeah. I think I did hear something, but the memory faded. Ed's path was a slow and twisting path. The kind of long, strange trip that I admire, but wouldn't recommend to follow. You can still ascend higher if you rise faster, if you are able to.

@@JamesOberg Thanks again. I found a video of you and bookmarked it, editing the title to remind me to keep an eye on it.
