    It’s sad, just like the WWII vets, these pioneers into space are beginning to leave us.

    I was reading Buzz Aldrin’s book and he talks about the mission and how it would have been very easy for something go wrong from the lunar module walls being about as thick as a few of sheets of aluminum. To how to make sure everything they had enough fuel for hookup with the command module to reentry just enforces that those guys had the “right stuff”.
