Yes, it's definitely high weirdness, even though not necessarily enough proof of some arcane conspiracy.
If the coincidence of a man looking like Capt Richard Scobee, being a similar age as Richard Scobee would be now, being called Richard Scobee wasn't an amazing enough coincidence - being the CEO of a company whose website that opens with a rocket launch and then a swirl of white smoke against a blue sky. Regardless of how much you pass it off as coincidence that is one hell of a freaky coincidence. Anyone who says the caterpillars of swirling smoke against the blue sky isn't the first visual image they have when thinking of the Challenger explosion is a liar.
...
Regardless, the number of coincidences combined to create a scenario whereby four members of the seven crew could have doppelgängers with the same name, at the right age and whom have curious/coincidental links to the Challenger story... That is something in itself, whatever it is.
I may not live that long...No, no major news source has run with the story, but then at present it is just a theory posted on a 'crank' website. Expect to read the EXCLUSIVE in the Express in about two years.
Ooh, cheeky!Well I emailed Prof Resnik........

But what if we find someone called loquacity, with a passing resemblance to Penelope Keith, lecturing at a university somewhere a few years after the unfortunate event?If you disappear or have an unfortunate accident, then we'll know it's not a hoax...
Let's hope she says a bit more than that.
Anyway, things to watch out for as seen in Capricorn One: the brakes being cut in your car so you drive off a bridge, drugs planted in your home so you're arrested, visit a Wild West theme park and you'll be shot at with real bullets, armed black helicopters that can only be stopped with a Telly Savalas. Know your enemy.
On a more serious note regarding this case. Would changing your name create a more legally documented paper trail than keeping it as it is?

He has performed alongside countless movie stars, musicians and politicians.
And he was even offered a seat as Big Bird on the ill-fated Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986 in a bid to get children more interested in the NASA program when Star Wars was all the rage.
But there wasn't enough room for the costume, which is more than eight feet tall, sparing Spinney from the tragedy that saw the Challenger break apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven people on board.
"We were taping another episode of Sesame Street at the time it went up and they said, 'The ship is about to take off so we’re going to punch the broadcast of the takeoff onto the monitors on the set.' So we stopped working and watched the monitors and when we saw it blow up, it was like my scalp crawled," recalled Spinney.
"I couldn’t believe how horrible that was and we were grieving for the pilots and the teacher [Christa McAuliffe], for their families and them losing their life like that. So tragic."
Is this photograph just evidence that the genetic commonalities between those that make the grade to become part of The Right Stuff will create a clan of lookalikes?
Yes, undoubtedly correct. To the extent that there will likely be bell-curve conformity, within perhaps all professional tribes, on all sorts of levels. I do remember a British tv gameshow years back, run by Noel Edmunds (@Ulalume , I think BBC America will have spared you this delicacy) where vocationally-aggregated groups of clone competitors carried out pointless competitive team tasks for our entertainment. Kindergarten teachers versus Firefighters, you get the trope, I'm sure.Ulalume said:This, I think. Or something similar. I've seen plenty of examples of people who work in the same field having more than a passing resemblance to each other
Yes please. Irrespective of priorities, this deserves a full treatment. Has it not been already fielded upon these hallowed boards in days of yestergone?Ulalume said:Something similar probably happens when pets and their humans begin to resemble each other. Though why all this should happen is probably another Fortean subject all together...
It gets worse. Or better, depending upon which way round you hold the telescope.
Remember: we are Forteans. Or we wouldn't be here. My perspective, restated again, is that I am skeptical about everything...whether that be Official Narratives, or outlandish theories.
And whilst you mull that over, remember also back to the second Shuttle disaster. Is this photograph just evidence that the genetic commonalities between those that make the grade to become part of The Right Stuff will create a clan of lookalikes?
Or does this somehow become even stranger and less comprehensible yet?

Agh! Missing Time as well!The big mystery is how only seven years passed between 1986 and 2003!
After a lifetime of looking at NASA imagery I have never seen anything 'perceptably implausible'. This picture of McAuliffe compared to Clark is not in the slightest bit implausible.Either the numerous instances of perceptably-implausible NASA imagery are:
- real evidence of concealment / misrepresentation, or;
- harmless coincidences, or;
- cheese-scented chunks in mysterious mousetraps, or;
- weapons of mass distraction.
