Astronaut John Young has a staggering number of historic spaceflight
firsts and NASA records included in his service record. Young flew on board
the first manned Gemini mission, operated the first computer on a manned
spacecraft, flew on two Apollo moon missions, and was mission commander
on the very first flight of the Space Shuttle. His six spaceflights
(seven, if you count his liftoff from the moon on Apollo 16) tie a NASA record.
Yet for all his accomplishments in the sky, few are aware of a unique
land speed record that John Young also holds.

WHAT UNIQUE LAND SPEED RECORD DOES ASTRONAUT JOHN YOUNG HOLD?
