Slayton Gets Space Flight Chance After 10 Years
Donald K. Slayton, once grounded by idiopathic arterial fibrillation, is named to the international manned spaceflight crew with a July 15 launch target. The 51-year-old former Air Force pilot, nicknamed Deke, endured a decade of medical scrutiny before Mayo Clinic findings confirmed normal heart function and clearance to fly. He rose from early astronaut ranks to lead the crew’s training and later became a key administrator within NASA’s astronaut corps. Slayton hails from Sparta Wisconsin and is married to Marjory Lunney with son Kent, 18.
