I was not aware of the number of such teams.
Will there soon be a mission where both go up together?

If so, I am sure I need not detail the interesting things that are
possible.

Of course, they have to go up before the TDRS network provides round
the clock telemetry.

How long are the radio gaps now?  Do the mission specialists have
body function monitors connected to them as was the case for the
Apollo crews?  Is there telemetry still, or is it just recorded?

After all, if the team were married, I doubt even the Moral Majority
could complain about what would perhaps be one of the most fascinating
experiments of the space program.
