K-O Cruiser:
K-O Cruiser leads the hordes of K-O troopers. In vehicle form, he looks somthing like a pick-up truck, and has a big green wrecking ball thing on the end of his "stalk". In humanoid form, he's got a vestigal wrecking ball thing instead of his second hand. His voice just sounds kind of "duh" stupid.

"Gen. Stewart was delighted to provide his autograph for these artifacts. He said to send his greetings."
Even after the Challenger accident on January 28, 1986, not all training activity stopped. Some payload specialists continued to train, although most of them would never fly.
Twenty days after the accident, the preliminary crew activity plan for STS-61-K was issued, with a planned launch date of Aug. 18, and a landing seven days later on Aug. 25. The payload for this flight was the postponed Spacelab EOM-1 - STS-51-H - which was combined with its reflight, for EOM-1/2.
No orbiter was given in this plan, but published reports say EOM-1/2 would have flown Atlantis. Originally, EOM-1/2 would have flown Columbia:
"An excellent example of the need to change the manifest because of operational constraints is reflected by the landing weight on STS 61-K. This mission, an Earth Observation Mission (EOM) Spacelab flight, first was planned for OV-102 because of the desire for a high-power, long-duration mission (i.e., only OV-102 has the capability to carry a fifth cryoset to provide extra power). As the payload definition matured, the payload configuration changed from only a long module to a long module plus a mission peculiar experiment support structure (MPESS)." [Rogers Commission]
EOM was in turn a reflight of some Spacelab-1 hardware. From a June 1984 NASA release:
Release No. 84-029 June 7, 1984
NASA ANNOUNCES CREW MEMBERS FOR FUTURE SPACE SHUTTLE FLIGHTS
The flight crew for Space Shuttle flight 51-H and mission specialist astronauts for mission 61-E were announced today by NASA.
Veteran astronaut Vance D. Brand will command mission 51-H, scheduled for launch in November 1985, using the orbiter Atlantis. Brand was commander of STS-5, the first operational Shuttle flight in November 1982 and mission 41-B, the first use of the manned maneuvering unit in February 1984.
Other members of the 51-H crew are Michael J. Smith, pilot; Robert C. Springer, Dr. Owen K. Garriott and European Space Agency astronaut, Dr. Claude Nicollier, mission specialists; and Dr.
Michael L. Lampton and Dr. Byron K. Lichtenberg, payload specialists.
Payload on Flight 51-H will be Earth Observation Mission-1 (EOM-I), a reflight of nine Spacelab-1 experiments in the areas of space plasma physics, solar physics, atmospheric physics, astronomy and earth observations. A short Spacelab habitable module and a pallet of experiment hardware will occupy the cargo bay.
When 51H got postponed, Smith went to become pilot of 51L (and later, pilot of 61-I, see documentation on this Flickr account elsewhere.)
61K was to have carried seven crewmembers. Three are mentioned in this plan - S. David Griggs as pilot; Robert L. Stewart as Mission Specialist 2; and Owen Garriott as MS1.
The other astronauts, named in a November 1985 astronaut flight information manifest, are Vance D. Brand, who would have carried over from 51H as commander, and Claude Nicollier, presumably as MS3.
That means 61K would have carried two Payload Specialists. Four are named on the distribution list: Dirk Frimout, Michael Lampton, Byron Lichtenberg and Charles R. Chappell, all from Marshall SPC.
Published reports elsewhere state Lampton and Lichtenberg, the latter who flew on Spacelab 1 and the former who was Lichtenberg's alternate for that flight, would have flown.
When flights resumed, EOM was renamed ATLAS, and flew in spring 1992 as STS-45. There was a crew of seven, but ATLAS-1 was commanded by Charles F. Bolden Jr., as Brand had left NASA by then. Griggs died in 1989 and Brian Duffy was pilot of the flight.
Mission specialists were C, Michael Foale, David C. Leestma and Kathryn D. Sullivan - Garriott and Stewart also having left NASA by that time. Frimout took Lampton's place, the latter medically disqualified in 1991, and Lichtenberg flew - the only original crew member to do so!
Nicollier was still an astronaut, but presumably could not fly due to his training for STS-46, which also flew in 1992.
I sent this to Lampton, but he returned it unsigned (he may have thought it was backing for the photo I sent, which he did return signed.) Garriott signed this in-person at an Explorers Club presentation on 4 Sept. 2013 in New York, NY.
And when an opportunity came to send this to Stewart, I did so, through the Kitsap Community Prayer Breakfast at the Kitsap Golf and Country Club on 2 Oct. 2014 in Bremerton, Washington.
Nicollier signed this in-person during Family Day at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center, 25 April 2015.

April 19, 2021 - Bronx, NY -- Gould Memorial Library- Bronx Community College--former Library of New York University--Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced more than $455 million in energy efficiency upgrades across the City University of New York system. The energy-saving measures developed by the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) will reduce environmental impacts and operating costs while advancing the goals of Governor Cuomo’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The most aggressive climate change law in the nation, CLCPA will reduce electricity demand by three percent – the equivalent to 1.8 million New York households—by 2025.(Philip Kamrass/New York Power Authority)
