Sad news, Bill Anders

[Stu]

Bill Anders, who was on Apollo Eight and took the Earth rise image, has been killed in a plane crash aged 90. It shows something about these men that he was still piloting a plane solo at that age. Very  sad.

It’s sad news indeed, but a life well lived.

It is sad, but here's a guy of 90 still piloting a plane! A fulfilling life right to the end. R.I.P. You couldn't wish for better. And, of course, there's the legacy of the Moonrise image.

R.I.P Bill, at 90 piloting a plane says a lot. Sort of puts my sad life into perspective, too lazy to get up to cut the grass at only 50.

Very sad to hear.

From what I've read, at 90 years old he was flying his personal T-34 jet!

That is absolutely incredible to me!
