Another pioneer, Wally Schirra, gone (http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyid=2007-05-03T213104Z_01_N03289217_RTRUKOC_0_US-SCHIRRA.xml&src=nl_ustopnewslate).

Wow

That's sad to hear. It's hard to believe how long it's been since the early days of man going out into space or how "taking it for granted" we've become except if there's an accident.

RIP Wally Schirra!

PantyFanatic,

Yes. I remember him working the CSB coverage of Apollo 11.

RIP sir.

I was thinking sort of the same thing as DB when I first heard the news last night. We don't really make a big deal out of space exploration anymore unless there is a tragedy.

RIP to a true pioneer.
