Part 36: Fall 1965: Pre-Vote
I'm fairly certain Borman decided to retire right now just to mess with you guys. That's just really hilarious timing considering he just got put in the Gemini program. Also, your newbies have finished up their Basic Training. Also, Grissom lives.
God, that's ugly as all hell. Anyways, since I'm fairly cetain you guys would like to start doing more than one manned mission a year, here are some new teams you can make in no particular order:
Cernan/Eisele
Cernan/Schweickart
Basset/Aldrin
Basset/Cunningham
Basset/Ms. Beeson
Basset/Ms. Gorelick
Basset/Ms. Funk (Basset's a lady killer, apparently)
Basset/Chaffee
Scott/Aldrin
Scott/Cunningham
Scott/Ms. Funk
Aldrin/Cunningham
Aldrin/Ms. Gorelick
Aldrin/Ms. Funk
Eisele/Schweickart
Eisele/Mitchell
Eisele/Irwin
Cunningham/Funk
Schweickart/Mitchell
Schweickart/Irwin
McCandless/Mitchell
McCandless/Irwin
McCandless/Ms. Beeson
McCandless/Chaffee
Mitchell/Irwin
Mitchell/Ms. Beeson
Mitchell/Chaffee
Irwin/Ms. Beeson
Ms. Beeson/Chaffee
Ms. Gorelick/Chaffee
No compatible female only teams, sadly. Also christ that took forever to do. One last note, all Lunar Landing missions you guys could do with the Gemini are currently at -10. You're getting there! You've got 60 MB left over.

Other Notes: Need either this or Kicker-A for Lunar Missions not involving the Apollo or Jupiter. This is the stronger of the two and basically makes the A pointless unless you're running on the cheap.
