I'll give you a hint, he is also the only Astronaut cool enough to put his dogs in his official NASA Photo:

In the early 60's I wore a size 14 Cowboys uniform, and also dreamed of being an astronaut.

I've grown, but i'm still conflicted.

This is a bit of a trick question. He never made the team.

True, that's why I used the weasel language of "wore the uniform", he was in training camp (after getting a degree in Chemistry) but never made the team.

It's a pretty cool trivia question though. Ranks up there with what Hall of Fame Basketball Coach was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys, and what Olympic Gold Medalist sprinter besides Bob Hayes was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys?

Those are great. I knew Carl Lewis just because I'm old enough, but I have no idea on the Basketball Coach. What is the answer?

Its a shame men and feats like this dont occupy topics in the media more often. Just all around great players and people who make/made this sport great. I appreciate threads and knowledge like this.
