I pioneered a generation of Space Exploration. I built the Rockets that took us to the Moon. And now I tweet.

Good overview of the landing. We nominally target a few hundred feet away from Jacklyn to avoid a severe impact if engines fail to start or start slowly. We’ll incrementally reduce that conservatism over time. We are all excited and grateful for yesterday. Amazing performance by the team! Gradatim Ferociter.

Jim Lovell was part of Astronaut Group 2, which was nicknamed "The New Nine." Of that group, Commander Elliot See would die in a plane crash in 1966, while ALL of the remaining 8 would go on to fly in Apollo. With Captain Lovell's passing, none of the "New Nine" remain.

Sadly, of the first 55 astronauts NASA selected between 1959 and 1967, only 10 are still with us. Mercury 7 - None remain The New Nine - None remain The Fourteen - 3 remain The Scientists - 3 remain The Original Nineteen - 4 remain #JimLovell

Bill Anders was part of Astronaut Group 3, which was nicknamed “The Fourteen.” Of that group, four would die in training accidents before reaching space, while the remaining 10 would all fly in Apollo. With General Anders passing, only 3 of “The Fourteen” remain.

When the vanity projects of two billionaires collide, don’t be surprised if you’re left heartbroken and alone.
【Important Notice】 It is unfortunate to be announcing that 'dearMoon', the first private circum-lunar flight project, will be cancelled. We thank everyone who has supported us and apologize to those who have looked forward to this project. 【重要なお知らせ】 大変残念ですが、民間人初の月周回渡航プロジェクト 「dearMoon 」は、中止することとなりました。これまで応援して下さった皆様には感謝と共に、このような結果になってしまったこと心よりお詫び致します。 dearmoon.earth

For hot singles call (321) LIFT-OFF.
the North American Numbering Plan Administration assigned the area code 321 to the part of Florida where Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space station is — as in ''3-2-1 liftoff"
