Further information

The group's informal nickname is an acronym for "George Abbey Final Fifteen". [58] Of this group, Mae Jemison would become the first female African-American in space, [59] Bruce Melnick the first Coast Guard aviator in space, [60] while Michael Foale would fly aboard the Mir space station. [37] At the time of the Columbia accident in 2003, William Readdy was Associate Administrator for Space Flight [27] and Kenneth Bowersox was commanding the Expedition 6 crew on the ISS. [6] Chilton, after leaving NASA, became the first NASA astronaut to become a General in the U.S. Air Force [61] (Lt. Gen. Thomas Stafford, USAF, [62] and VADM Richard Truly, USN [63] were three-star officers) and was commander of U.S. Strategic Command from October 2007 until January 2011. [61]
