May be they no more do. I thought in the 90's it was already the case., But I had to wonder one of my friend, CLAUDE JOHARY, had to test a Mark-IV (type to be confirmed) from the ground. After what I had some problems with his back, and could no more apply as astronaut. He died in 1995 as passenger.

The ONLY similaritie I want to point out is the non adequate man on the non adequate place ; and that concerns HMI.
