Yep.

If I am not mistaken Dr Mitchell passed 45 years to the day after his time on the lunar surface.

Anyone who was/is as dedicated as the men and women whove reached beyond this planet are among the very few finest that this miserable species can produce. I feel humble and in awe of them.
And the death of any one of them, even in peaceful respect, is a loss for the world that will be hard replaced.

RIP to a true hero. A word that gets thrown around too easily these days, but in this case is perfectly fitting!


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!
