Rest in peace, sir.

ohn Young, NASA's longest-serving astronaut, who walked on the moon and flew on the first Gemini and space shuttle missions, has died.

The first person to fly six times into space — seven, if you count his launch off of the moon in 1972 — and the only astronaut to command four different types of spacecraft, Young died on Friday (Jan. 5). He was 87.

I read the book Failure is not an Option by flight director Gene Kranz, he gave Young the best compliment you could to a man, said he was " quiet, thoughtful and fearless".
God Speed John Young.
