Answer:
A : An American citizen from Ohio
Explanation:
An ordinary American citizen from Ohio named Pritchard comes to the launch of the third expedition. He begs to be let on the rocket because he fears nuclear war, and he doesn't like the state of society on Earth. The officials laugh at him, reminding him the first and second expeditions never came back. Pritchard theorizes Captain York and Captain Williams probably just loved it so much on Mars they never bothered to return.
