Off season research

Postby Derek » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:55 pm

Think of it as "wind sprint's" or "bleacher snakes" for your mind. Let's try the 20 questions format

I was the first person to fly in space twice, who am I?
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

I have Neil Armstrong in Gemini 8 in March 1966 and Apollo 11 in July, 1969. Gene Cernan on July 1966 and on Apollo 10 in May , 1969. But I have Grissom as a Mercury astronaut aboard Mercury 4 in 1961 and aboard Gemini 3 in 1965. He was schedule to be the first 3 time person in space aboard Apollo 1 in 1967, but a fire aborted the mission and he was killed. My question is do you have someone before '61 and '65?

As a side question, do you know what all three of these men had in common besides being astronauts?

Actually I don't know where they were all born. I think Grissom was born in Indiana. They all went to Purdue University. The cradle of astronauts.

Good answer. :lol: :lol: But once he got to space, I don't think he ever left. :wink:

Two questions. Are you from the United States? Do you define space as out of the Earth's upper atmosphere?
