They really mean Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather or James Michener or ?

The idea is that a great communicator would enter space as a better
representative of the American people.  Obviously NASA needs the 
PR.  The research displaced by Dan Rather might be amply justified
in the long run by the construction of another space shuttle or 
space station because of the public interest kindled by such a mission.
