How many crew members will 132 and 133 have? Have they done crew-size planning yet?
Is there a chance Scott Parazynski or Mike Foale will get assigned to one of the last three shuttle missions?

please comment and critiqueSTS-132 STS-133 STS-134CDR: Greg Johnson CDR: Pam Melroy CDR: Chris FergusonPLT: Ron Garan PLT: Ken Ham PLT: Eric Boe
I’d like to see Peggy WHITSON in one of the latest shuttle flights. She has flied twice but only in Soyuz. Just for tasting a smooth landing…

Tom Henricks and Kevin Kregel flew as a repeat commander/pilot pairing (STS-70 and STS-78?) I think this was a deliberate exercise to see whether such an approach could improve flight crew efficiency or something. It was never adopted though.
