“Even at the age of 82, Gene was passionate about sharing his desire to see the continued human exploration of space and encouraged our nation’s leaders and young people to not let him remain the last man to walk on the Moon,”
A weary traveler has turned toward home,R.I.P.
‘A weary traveler has turned toward home,R.I.P.’
Amen.
Gene had True Grit – TAPS for a hero.
I watched a good doco about him a few months ago.

Those guys were awesome.
As with all of the astronauts; another sad passing. The thing that truly grinds my gears are the claims by fruit-loops which insist the moon journeys were a fake. Nobody could fake the courage of these travellers. Will we see their like again?
Will we see their like again? I hope so,our culture was founded and advanced forward by risk takers.And if climbing into a space capsule barely bigger than a compact car and being shot into orbit at 16,000 miles per hour isn’t taking a risk I don’t know what is!
