Mercury?[edit]

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]
