Astronauts

Story Musgrave, who is the only astronaut to fly aboard all five shuttles and was the hands-on mechanic who fixed the Hubble Space Telescope, was perhaps the most highly educated of any astronaut. A chemist, mathematician, surgeon, biophysicist, business administrator and literary scholarby academic training, he has become a landscape contractor in Florida since leaving NASA.

“I own a bulldozer, a tree spade, two military dump trucks,” said Musgrave, who flew six missions in all. “I do 20-acre projects. I was up in the cherry picker today trimming a tree.”
