You mission was, of course, dramatized in the HBO series "From the Earth to the Moon", which showed you being trained in a sort of aerial geology by Farouk El-Baz. I heard you once say the plane they had you flying in (a Cessna, I think) wasn't accurate. Other than that, how accurate were they?

Where were you when you heard about the Apollo 1 fire? And given that you were fairly new to the astronaut corps at the time, did you know Grissom, White, or Chaffee?

Hey, man. "X-Files" was usually a little dark for my tastes, but I was actually a big fan of "The Lone Gunmen". I was sorry it didn't get more time to establish itself.

Did you have any plans or directions you wanted to go if the latter show had managed to get a second season?

One of the well-known stories about "Enterprise" was that, had the show continued for a 5th season (as it should have), Shran would've been made a member of the crew, and presumably you would've been made a main cast member. What would you have like to have seen Shran do on the ship (since they already had a security chief in Malcolm) and what direction would you have liked to have seen them take the character?

Hello, Colonel!

The Apollo 12 launch was infamous for having been struck by lightning during a launch. Was there any talk before that happened as to what being struck by lightning before or during launch would do to a spacecraft?
