The astronauts on the flight were Thomas Stafford, Deke Slayton, and Vance Brand. Deke Slayton had just been restored to flight status after being grounded for numerous years. This was his first flight in space. Tom Stafford flew Gemini 6, Gemini 9, and Apollo 10. He was to command the Soyuz-Apollo flight. Vance Brand was a rookie, so this was his first flight, along with Deke Slayton.
Because he was one of the phew astronauts that were experienced enough.(:
