Zefram Cochrane was captain of Earth’s first starship, the _Phoenix_; Jonathan Archer was captain of the first Warp 5-capable starship, the _Enterprise_. So I don’t think you’ve earned a question.

Dunno as to either. Ask your DQs.

Steve Austin is depicted crashing in the M2-F2 in the opening credits to _The Six Million Dollar Man_.

I’ll have to think about a DQ.

I was thinking of Green Arrow, but it occurs to me now that it might run foul of the Proper Name rule.

DING DING DING DING! We have a winner!

**Yes, I am Steve Austin.**

Well done, **Johnny L.A.**!

Just to tie up a loose end, I was thinking of Ralph Abernathy.

And I also had an idea that you might be Steve Austin, but wanted to home in a bit closer before guessing him. I eagerly anticipate **Johnny L.A.**'s challenge.

Whew! I was racking my brain trying to come up with another DQ, since Steve Austin fit all of the criteria!

I’ll start a June thread. Thanks for the game! 🙂

It goes without saying that I’m not Herb Albert.

Yup. That’s the guy. :smack:

The pilot who actually crashed in that plane was a lot less injured than Steve Austin, fortunately.

In case anyone wondered…

The Easybeats, an Australian band led by George Young and Harry Vanda, recorded the Sixties hit “Friday on My Mind.”

Years later, George Young’s little brothers ANGUS and Malcolm Young founded their own band, AC/DC. George Young and Harry Vanda produced the first AC/DC album.
