If I ever die in a rocket accident, please don't let NASA make a monument with me on it.

>Jarvis was twice bumped from the flight roster by politicians. He was first billed to make his journey into space in April 1985 but was replaced by Senator Jake Garn (R-UT) and then got pushed back in line by Rep. Bill Nelson (D-FL) in early January 1986. Instead, he was put aboard the Challenger’s fateful late January flight.
Politicians never pay the price.

it wasnt irony, it was the fact that the crew in charge of designing and inspecting the heat shield also had to comply with affirmative action

Any idea why Jarvis is the only astronaut without the NASA meatball patch but with a red LEASAT patch instead? I understand it means Leased Satellite but why have a patch for the space version of Rent-a-Center on his uniform?

Which is funny because in the photo OP posted, he's the weirdest looking one.
