Good article and its a good idea to honor him that way.
Agreed. It was a wonderful tribute, Rand.
No mention of his participation in the Gemini program and his in-space emergency?
Great (alt) comment from your referenced XKCD:
The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there’s no good reason to go into space–each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.”
My ‘age’ caught up with me when I heard this news. “…h3ll, Neil Armstrong can’t be 82, I’m ONLY…oh, wait, I guess he can be 82…”.
I watched “Moonshot” this afternoon with my 18 y/o nephew. [not the greatest movie, but still fair…] It took us almost 3 hours to get through it because I kept pausing it and telling him things I remembered, and to answer questions he had. It was an enjoyable reminiscence and teaching opportunity.
