We Have Lift-Off

In two letters to the July issue of Texas Monthly, readers respond to the article "Lust in Space," by S. C. Gwynne, which appeared in the May issue. Colonel Al Worden, Apollo 15's command module pilot, contends that the story was disappointing not only because it linked Lisa Nowak's lurid story to NASA, an otherwise august organization, but mostly because of its assumptive errors. Tricia Hudson of Magnolia, Texas, regrets the use of the phrase "Astronaut Sex" on the cover of the magazine featuring the story because it stopped her leaving it on the coffee table lest her boys think she reads space porn.
