Yes, I think it was probably John Conally (sp?), though I'm not really up 
on the subject.

However, it wouldn't surprise me to find that some of the answers in the 
game were wrong.  I seem to recall once getting a question about the early
manned space program the answer to which I disagreed with.  It was something
ambiguous like "Who was the third American in space?" and the answer given
was either John Glenn or whoever the *fourth* man in space (and therefore
the third to orbit the earth) -- I can't remember which.

I've heard that if you confirm an error, you can send the card to the two
guys who invented the game, and they'll take a ball point pen, correct and
initial the card, and send it back to you free of charge.  What a deal, huh?
