...faulted for fearing that their ship is jinxed. Although the first indications are that the accident was the fault of Evans, Melbourne's record is replete with mishaps. Designed as a British warship during World War II, the ship soon acquired the title of "Troublesome Lady." Built to withstand North Atlantic cold, it became an oven in the warm waters off Australia.

After a year in Australia, the catapult system developed a structural defect that grounded the carrier's aircraft for seven months. Two years later...
...flight head-movement exercises prescribed by the astronauts' physician, Dr. Charles Berry. For the first time since John Young smuggled a corned-beef sandwich aboard the Gemini 3 flight in 1965 and littered the spacecraft interior with crumbs, the astronauts were allowed a supply of bread.

The art of solar forecasting is still so primitive, however, that many flare alerts could turn out to be false alarms...
