If you look up into the sky on any clear night, you will be able to see countless stars overhead; between April 1959 and April 1966 NASA chose fifty five men to represent the United States in the exploration of space, twenty four of these men used the stars to navigate from the Earth to the Moon.
Before any of the new breed of space travellers soared into orbit around the Earth, Deke Slayton held a peer vote amongst the astronauts to aid in the selection of crews.
Now the members of the ProjectApollo group have held their own vote and using many different methods they have each selected their top 8 choices and now all the votes are in.
All the quotes were made by the group and were included in the responses to me, they are kept anonymous but are free to be discussed in the group. |
