Retired NASA astronaut and US Navy Captain John Young passed away on Friday the 5th. Even among astronauts he was considered a pioneer. He flew four different spacecraft on six missions with seven launches. link |

RSVP Capt. Young. Thank you for all that you've done for our Nation and the World…. High Flight
John Gillespie Magee, Jr Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air…
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. |

And we lost Richard Gordon of Gemini and Apollo 12 last November. The Apollo astronauts are a dwindling band and soon we will have no-one who has trodden another world. |
