[net.columbia] Astronauts Address

rael (11/24/82)

   Does anybody know if there is an address where personal letters to the
Columbia's astronauts can be mailed?
   If so, could somebody post it or mail it to me?

						Thanks,

   Back in the 60's there was a Scientist/Astronaut named Brian O'Leary
who wrote a book called "The making of an ex-astronuat" (he never
went up).  The book has some very interesting observations, but that's
another story...  Anyway, he once received a card from London, England
in just 3 days with the address:

			B O'LEARY
			ASTRONAUT
			U.S.A.

It appears that not too much precision is required...

   On the more practical side, their offices have always been at the
Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas.  Another possibility is:

	<name>, Astronaut
	NASA
	John F. Kennedy Space Center
	Kennedy Space Center, Florida  32899
