Mar 3, 2017 at 16:15 comment added dasdingonesin I'd like to add that Kraft's evaluation of Scott Carpenter's performance is controversial. science.time.com/2013/10/10/…
Mar 3, 2017 at 13:08 comment added GdD It's hard to say for sure, but probably not. Carpenter's performance was so low up to that point that it's very unlikely he would have been selected again. He ignored mission control directions to save fuel, even taping over the low fuel light so it wouldn't bother him.
Mar 3, 2017 at 12:59 comment added Organic Marble Kraft was quoted as saying "that son-of-a-bitch will never fly for me again."
Mar 3, 2017 at 12:56 comment added Schlusstein Would he have likely flown another mission if this had not occurred?
