Ed's Mistake

(Ed Lovett, top row, third from left; Bo Cunningham, top row, second from right)

Ed did not make any mistakes.

Well, he made one, a minor one, just before re-entry. But David, Don, and I believe that Ed unknowingly built off Bo’s earlier actions, which Bo designed toward a specific, hidden outcome.

One may argue that NASA made a mistake -- albeit one that saved Ed's life early in the program. But Ed? No. Ed did not make any mistakes.

Which is more than I can say about myself.
