Mercury?

Was the the voice of "mission control" or the "voice of Mercury control"? I remember "Mercury". Bubba73 (You talkin' to me?), 03:07, 4 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

"Space Talk"

edit

At the end of the first paragraph in the section "Later years," Powers' newspaper column Space Talk is mentioned with the inference that it was only done for one year -- 1967.

This not only misleading, it is in error. He wrote ("authored") the column for several years and there are articles dated from 1966 that can be found online.

Though I don't know the exact dates or for how long he wrote the column, I do remember cutting them out of the local newspaper for at least a couple of years.

Is there any way someone can verify how long he did the column and correct the date here?

Thank you. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 23:52, 9 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
