    Very true, and I’ve considered this in the past. I remember Mike Collins while everyone else remembers Neil & Buzz. And then I don’t remember the next 5 pilots.

    And don`t forget others that flew around the Moon: Apollo 10 & 13 crews.

    At least Collins had a mineral named after him.

    Read “Carrying the Fire” and you’ll understand.

    Wonderful days. Seemed as if the whole world was united in a single vision. One that transcended nationalities. Who could not remember Australian aborigines lighting bonfires as the astronauts passed overhead? Proud to play some small part in it.

    When I fly I don’t think that I have seen the states or cities below.

    Imagine the nerve of us puny humans. The men and women who have engaged in space fight have gone a step beyond even those of the aviation pioneers. They have gone where survival meant more than being able to perform a survivable landing; they have gone where return to Earth at all was uncertain and required a lot of things going right. With the zooming past the intended landing site with less than a minute of descent fuel left, to breaking off a circuit breaker switch needed for re-ascent, being a quarter of a million miles from Earth would make anybody feel vulnerable. Salute!

    Can we move on now to something actually humorous?

    How about Chaffee, White and Grissom? They died in Apollo 1, making the rest of the flights possible.

    Always thought Alan Sheppard was the bravest. Strapped him to the top of 600,000 parts all supplied by the lowest bidder and then lit the fuse!

    We should study all of them in school more closely. All of them are true American heroes.

    After JJ mentioned this strip in his blog on 07.18.19, I had to come back and re-read.
