re: The amazing Story Musgrave
It's never been any secret that he first did this on
his first flight, STS-6, in 1983. He was leaning both elbows
on the left and right forward seatbacks, looking out the
front window until they came around the HAC and saw
the runway in front of them, and PJ finally ordered him to
fasten his <deleted> seatbelt for landing.
An amazing man, with whom I had the pleasure to work with
in my Mission Control days. Sui generis, as they say.
