Simple challenge. With a POD after 1960 the USA must have had at least one president who was formerly an astronaut.
Well, Schmidt's pratfall on the Lunar surface wae certainly more "cosmic" than Ford's various trips. Glenn's try for the White House was doomed almost from the start. Certain terms would of been used by the press such as "spaceman". Besides I remeber political cartoons about the debates then and Glenn is always seen in a pressure helmet. Enough said. But if Glenn had not fallen in the bathtub, I suspect that he would of been the command pilot on either Apollo 1 or 11
