Another sad loss.   That list of prominent figures who have passed on,  is getting ever longer.   Gives one the shivers,  but we all have to make way for others to take our place.                                                I hope the History and Achievements of all those involved in the Moon Adventures,  are forever remembered,  the Excitement of those times was something else.

The loss of another space pioneer. I well remember his last words on the Moon. When will we ever return.

It is sad ,the passing of an era.Only six of the twelve who walked on the moon are still with us.Edgar Mitchell passed away last summer.I hope that manned space exploration finds its way again before they all pass on.
