Astronauts; Like You And Me, But Way Cooler

So. I think it's important to do this.

I want to support everyone in the space community during this difficult time. Mike was and still is the best of the best. I already miss him and now, looking at the Moon... I will wink at him, I promise.

His life was incredibly bright, that's why we will never forget him. Just remember the words from the song Stardust.

High up in the sky the little stars climb,

Always reminding me that we're apart.

You wandered down the lane and far away

Leaving me a song that will not die.

I love each of you and hug tightly, as tightly as if I had the opportunity to hug Mike...

It has been said that if Astronaut Fashions was an actual magazine, John Young would be the cover boy. There is the chance that I may have taken this idea too literally.

missionspecialist, you are literally a hero.

We go to print tomorrow.

I'm dyyyyyying

John Young on his love life.

Handsome Charlie Bassett speaking to the press during a geology field trip to Iceland, June 1965. Not many photos or videos of him (or C.C. Williams, sitting next to him!) so I just adore this ❤️

I looked at the Moon tonight.

I looked at the Moon and its surface through my telescope. She has never escaped so amusingly from sight.

I swear I never felt the way it did yesterday. I was not alone. I was with Neil.

See no difference.

Omg hahaha, Mike, I caught ya!
