Springtime for T110 and the Americas

The_Chieftain:   That's my guess. Especially since there are non-Australia stops as well, possible that one's a country which doesn't like Irishmen? (Those living in the US, at least). A lot of British ties in the Pacific Rim.   Well, anyway, various people are asking questions, so we'll see if it happens again now on any subsequent missions. I'm a tad surpised (and, frankly, disappointed), but I don't currently ascribe any particular malice. Heck, maybe the person just preferred Challenger's style and thought him a better fit, which is just as possible. And, in fairness, I've not been trying to be particularly visible on Asia either.
