He flew the first Gemini in 1965, he went to the moon twice in Apollo and walked on it once. He flew the first Space Shuttle in 1981 aged 51 wearing reading glasses! Unfortunately, I don't believe there will be this type of pioneer ever again.



Aviation legend. RIP.

He was THE MAN. Inspired awe of the very best sort.
