Astronaut turns down third shuttle flight for family time
John M. Fabian, a two time space traveler aged 46, declined a May 1986 shuttle flight citing lengthy training and extended separations from his family. Fabian, who joined NASA in 1978, first flew in 1983 with Thagard Ride Hauck and Crippen, then last year on a mission with a French astronaut and a Saudi prince. Meanwhile a car parked in Salt Lake City with a dog inside rolled away when the emergency brake released, hanging over a parking terrace edge until workers freed it after two hours.
