T O P I C R E V I E WtrajanWhilst watching a Heath Ledger film (The Four Feathers), my wife and I were wondering what else we'd seen him in, so I searched the Internet Movie Database... Only to find that in the Australian soap Home and Away, he played a character called Scott Irwin. Surely this CANNOT be a coincidence?!FFrenchMy wife went to college with a guy called Scott Worden. Needless to say, he loved the Apollo 15 patch...Francis.trajanI suppose that, in a world this big, these things are going to happen. That must mean that somewhere out there is Mr Conrad Bean!!Rob SumowskiHow about a Mr. Conrad Gordon Bean?FFrench quote:Originally posted by Rob Sumowski:How about a Mr. Conrad Gordon Bean?There could even be an Irwin Scott Worden, as those are first names too...what other crews would work as names?A couple of Geminis: Stafford Cernan, Conrad Cooper, Conrad Gordon (or Gordon Conrad), Stafford Schirra, Scott Armstrong... and the baby of the family, "Young Grissom"...MoonpawsBean Ride, Carr Ride, Ham Ride,and White Bowersoxs.

And John great catch ! It made my day.As a sidelight (although not atronaut surnames) my generation has plenty of Moonbeams, Stars, Blazes etc. and I'm sure these would sound cool attached to astronaut surnames.How about Star Bean, Moonbeam Armstrong, Blaze Collins (must have a copy of Carrying the Fire)The name of the JSC FOIA coordinator is Stella Luna. I can't help but think that this helped her stand out in the interview at NASA ! I can see some of us doing google searches until the wee hours of the morning. BlackarrowI have heard of a firm of lawyers in England called Irwin Mitchell.But I prefer the Irish firm called (honestly!) Argue & Fibbs.
