Ha! No - they were crazy, but I don't think they brought a 12 year old into space.
Maybe they just made up the name and it's a great coincidence as sometimes happens in fictional stories.
The name actually came from my friends and I in school - we were called the "Big Four". I thought that didn't work for the book, so I thought "Freaktastic" was more fun, more nerdy, and a nod to FF.
