Dang it. You're right of course. |

McClatchy Newspapers: Astronaut Bill Lenoir dead at 71 Lenoir flew as a mission specialist on the first space flight to deploy commercial satellites."In addition to collecting precise data to document the shuttle's performance during launch, boost, orbit, atmospheric entry and landing phases, STS-5 carried a Getaway Special experiment, three Student Involvement Project experiments, and medical experiments," the NASA site says. It also carried Lenoir's stash of jalapeno peppers. News accounts three days into the mission said that Lenoir had "mystified reporters and ground controllers... when he asked mission control to 'tell Woody the jalapenos are outstanding.'" Fellow astronaut Sherwood "Woody" Spring had sent him up with a bag of home-grown peppers that Lenoir ate like candy. |
