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

The “spielberg’s life’s work has been to prepare us for alien disclosure” stans occupy a significant portion of this site.

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.
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

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.
