Developer Notes

 * Terrance Wade Wilcutt was one of the original Expedition 8 crew members in OTL before the Columbia disaster caused a delay in the mission and reorganization of NASA. As such he like the rest of the Expedition 8 crew as well as the Atlantis where space ready when the rescue would of happened- and with time being essential would have been one of the candidates from among that crew to be among the four to take part in the rescue. While we can not say for certain that Terry would have been Commander, we the contributors have looking at the options given him that role. With the success of that mission, and an alternate fallout of events regarding Colombia, his career has been altered along with other aspects of his life.
