Going To Mars: The Human Challenges ... Jay Buckey Jr., the author, who flew aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1998, thinks that conflicts between crew members can be avoided either by sending large crews or big spacecrafts... The crew on Sir Ernest Shackleton's unsuccessful trip across Antarctica survived two years lost in the Antarctic ice....
The crew was complete: it included a Boots—
A maker of Bonnets and Hoods—
A Barrister, brought to arrange their disputes—
And a Broker, to value their goods.
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
The night was thick and hazy
When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
And I think the water downed ‘em;
For they never, never found ‘em,
And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
“10 April 1800—
Blacks rebellious. crew uneasy. Our linguist says
their moaning is a prayer for death,
ours and their own.
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
