After leaving the planet Mars on 1/23/1976 for deep space, my next stop was the Saturn moon Phoebe. Mars also makes me think of the Sahara desert, which I returned from on 5/13/1987. I wasn't dating Paula Abdul, as I question in my journal over a year ago. Rather, I was trying to remember a calendar date that associated Paula Abdul with Phoebe, and I assume that was my creation. Assuming that I did influence the date for the release of Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl," I scheduled it to point back 333 days to Phoebe's 24th birthday. My thoughts suggest I did that because 7/16/1987 was the first birthday Phoebe and I were together after I returned alive from Africa. It was later that year that Phoebe's movie "Date With An Angel" premiered and that would seem appropriate considering the premiere date. That premiere was 359 days plus 1 day after 11/25/1986, which I recognize as when my family had a funeral service for me, thinking I had been killed in Africa. In my artificial and symbolic memory, I remember the date 11/25/1986 as when my step-brother, Micheal, was killed when he wrecked his pickup truck. I believe, in reality, that represents the U.S. Navy officer that was flying with me on 2/14/1986 when we were shot down by anti-aircraft fire.
I assume I also had some leve of creative input into this 1983 movie "The Right Stuff." My thoughts suggest the premiere date connects me with Apollo 11 and Skylab. I have been thinking that Skylab was the final work on my Project Orion space ship and to prepare for my mission to the outer solar system to divert the comet.
This actor was 2375 weeks old on 7/2/1976. I recognize the date 7/2/1976 as when I arrived at the comet and set to work at diverting it from hitting the Earth. I recognize that I was 2375 days old on 9/2/1965, which was my first day at Princeton University.
From 12/26/1930 to 7/2/1976 is: 2375 weeks
From 3/3/1959 to 9/2/1965 is: 2375 days

The Right Stuff (1983) .... Lyndon B. Johnson
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson
Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was the 36th President of the United States (1963–1969). After serving a long career in the U.S. Congress, Johnson became the 37th Vice President, and in 1963, he succeeded to the presidency following President John F. Kennedy's assassination. He was a major leader of the Democratic Party and as President was responsible for designing his Great Society, comprising liberal legislation including civil rights laws, Medicare (health care for the elderly), Medicaid (health care for the poor), aid to education, and a major "War on Poverty". Simultaneously, he escalated the American involvement in the Vietnam War, from 16,000 American soldiers in 1963 to 550,000 in early 1968.
He was elected President in his own right in a landslide in 1964, but his popularity steadily declined after 1966 and his reelection bid in 1968 collapsed as a result of turmoil in his party. He withdrew from the race to concentrate on peacemaking. Johnson was renowned for his domineering personality and arm twisting of powerful politicians.
Of the period of this actor's age and my age, half of that period when applied to Phoebe's age is 12/13/1972. That was the day before Apollo 17 left the Earth's moon. The space flight Apollo 17 landed on the Earth's moon Monday, 12/11/1972 for the last known trip to the Earth's moon. That would a good symbolic connection because Wally Schirra was the commander of Apollo 7, the first of the Apollo flights, and Apollo 17 was the last Apollo flight.
From 5/5/1940 to 3/3/1959 is: 6876 days
6876 / 2 = 3438
From 7/16/1963 to 12/13/1972 is: 3436 days

Lance Henriksen
Date of Birth: 5 May 1940
The Right Stuff (1983) .... Wally Schirra
I think this actress portrays the wife of Alan Shepard, who was the commander of Apollo 14 and was the 5th man to walk on the Earth's moon. This casting choice seems to connect Phoebe, because she is my wife, with the Apollo 14 space flight.
From 6/8/1950 to 7/16/1963 is: 4786 days
From 3/3/1959 to 7/16/1963 is: 1596 days
1596 / 4786 = 0.333

The actor who portrays Alan Shepard seems to connect me to when I returned to Earth on 4/14/1977. He is only 7 days from being twice my age on 4/14/1977.
From 1/26/1941 to 3/3/1959 is: 6610 days
From 3/3/1959 to 4/7/1977 is: 6610 days
From 3/3/1959 to 4/14/1977 is: 6617 days

The Right Stuff (1983) .... Chuck Yeager
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Yeager
Charles Elwood "Chuck" Yeager (born on February 13, 1923, in Lincoln County, West Virginia) is a retired American general in the United States Air Force and a noted test pilot.
His career began in World War II as a private in the U.S. Army Air Force. After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September, 1942 he entered enlisted pilot training and became a P-51 fighter pilot. After the war, he remained in the Air Force and became a test pilot of many kinds of aircraft and rocket planes. In 1947 he became the first pilot to travel faster than sound Mach 1 in level flight and ascent. Although Scott Crossfield was the first man to fly faster than Mach 2, Yeager shortly thereafter exceeded Mach 2.4.[1] He later commanded fighter squadrons and wings in Germany and in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, then was promoted to Brigadier General. Yeager's flying career spans more than sixty years and has taken him to every corner of the globe, even into the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War.
