Talk:Irene D. Long

Clarify choice of birth year
Some sources list Irene Long's birth year as 1951. However, in 1994, she was quoted as saying ''"I was nine years old," she recalled. "it was 1959, and I was watching a show on television called 'Man and the Challenge.' It was about getting ready for human spaceflight. (Kennedy Space Center News Release No. 87-94) If she was 9 in 1959, then she had to have been born in 1950 (or 1949). The program Man and the Challenge'' ran for 36 episodes from Fall 1959 to Spring 1960. --Bejnar (talk) 17:57, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
