There were even plans for a full female STS-crew but it never happened... |

Ed, Great pic as I have a few of them signed as well. I was introduced to Monica Golden during the late 90s when visited by her and other closeout suit techs. Later, I was presented with a couple of the same signed photos, which have always been favorites of mine. |

Thanks for this look at the folks behind the scenes Ed. These are the unsung heroes of the program - I'd like to see more like this. |

That would have been cool, why didn't it happen? |

I believe the plan was canceled after the 51-L Challenger accident... |

Look forward to the next few photos of Neil Armstrong. Was there any of Sally Ride as well? |
