Donald 'Deke' Slayton was selected in 1959 as one of the original American Mercury 7 astronauts but before he could fly in space he was found to suffer from a minor heart fibrilation.
Although still physically robust it was enough for flight surgeons to remove Slayton from flight status and he never flew a Mercury mission. He instead became chief of the astronaut office and was responsible for choosing crews for the Gemini and Apollo space programs.
In the early 1970's Slayton went back to the flight surgeons and his fibrilation was found to have ceased. He was placed back on flight status and in 1975 eventually did fly in space on board the Apollo-Soyuz test project, the last flight of an Apollo spacecraft.
Donald K Slayton thus did fly in space 16 years after being selected as an astronaut.

Which of the Mercury astronauts did not fly into space?
Shuttles have only been designed to be in low earth orbit and do not have the capability to go to the moon. The Apollo missions were the ones that traveled to the moon, and there have been no lunar missions since 1973.

How much coal to make 1 ton of fly-ash?
The amount of coal needed to produce 1 ton of fly ash varies depending on the characteristics of the coal and the combustion process. On average, it takes about 10-20% of the original coal weight to result in 1 ton of fly ash.
What is heavier a ton of brings or a ton of feathers?
A ton of brings does not exist, but if you mean a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers, they both weigh the same - 2000lbs. A ton is an imperial unit of measuring weight - it doesn't measure volume (or space that on object takes up). A ton of bricks would be relatively compact, while a ton of feathers would take up an enormous amount of space.
What kind of space is there in one metric ton?
One metric ton is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms. The volume of space occupied by one metric ton of materials will vary depending on the density of the substance. For example, one metric ton of lead will take up less space than one metric ton of feathers due to their different densities.
What is the cost of fly-ash per metric ton?
The cost of fly ash per metric ton can vary depending on factors such as location, supplier, and quantity purchased. On average, the cost of fly ash ranges from $20 to $50 per metric ton. It is recommended to contact local suppliers for current pricing information.
How much ton is 80 meter cube?
depends what is in the space zero ton if the meter cube are empty
What weighs more a ton of feathers a ton is of bricks or a ton?
A ton of feathers and a ton of bricks both weigh the same: one ton. The difference lies in their volume and density, with feathers taking up much more space than bricks due to their lighter density. Regardless of the material, a ton is a ton.
How many tons does 1 ton of fly ash weigh?
The weight would be approx 32 ton-force (Imperial) or 9,800 Newtons (SI).
How much does 1 cubic tonne of sand weight?
1 ton, but I don't know whether that's a short ton or a long ton. A cubic ton is a measurement of volume (i.e. how much space it takes up). A cubic ton of sand is how much space a ton of sand takes up. A cubic ton of timber is how much space a ton of timber takes up, and as timber is lighter than sand, a cubic ton of timber is larger than a cubic ton of sand, even though they both weigh the same. As for the volume of a cubic ton of sand, I have no idea. You could get a rough answer this way: "m" divided by "d" where m =one ton in whatever units you are using (e.g. kg) and d = density of sand (in the same units)
How do you start in showbiz?

What is the convertion of cubic meter to metric ton?
1 metric ton = 1,000 kilograms How much volume (space) it occupies depends on what substance it is.
