If you weren't an astronaut, what would you be?
Captain Pete: a cosmonaut

Yikes! Hope Senator McCarthy didn't hear that.

Nice find ICR, do you know when and what was that originally published in?

"If you can’t be good, be colorful."—Conrad's personal motto

He said 8 years between his Skylab flight and the shuttle. His flight was in '73, the shuttle was supposed to launch in '79, but didn't launch until '81, so I'm guessing sometime after the first shuttle actually launched.
