“According to the St. Louis Dispatch, former payload specialist Robert J. Wood died in a car accident on February 19. Though he never flew in space, as an engineer with the McDonnell Douglas Aeronautics Company (later Boeing), Wood was chosen as the second industry payload specialist in March 1985 and served as backup to payload specialist Charles Walker on STS-61B.”
