"Don Leslie Lind, Ph. D. (born May 18, 1930) , (Cmdr, USNR, Ret. ) , is an American scientist and a former naval officer and aviator, and NASA astronaut...From 1964 to 1966, Lind worked at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as a space physicist. He was involved in experiments to determine the nature and properties of low-energy particles within the Earth's magnetosphere and interplanetary space. Lind applied for NASA's third group of astronauts but did not have enough flight hours, and was too old for the fourth group. After the age restriction changed, he was among the fifth group, the "Original Nineteen," selected in April 1966. Lthough the "Original Nineteen" was an all-pilot cohort (in contrast to the fourth and sixth groups, which were limited to medical doctors and Ph. D. Scientists) , Lind and Group 5 colleague Bruce McCandless II were "effectively treated... As scientist-astronauts" by NASA due to their academic training and mutual lack of the test pilot experience highly privileged by Deke Slayton and other NASA managers at the time.".
