GODSPEED
I turned on the radio yesterday and heard the very tail end of a news report that included a quote from Gene Cernan. I wondered what he could be giving a quote for, but I soon forgot about it. This morning I realized what I had missed: Wally Schirra passed away. Lileks gives a fitting tribute and a lesson in courage.
He's already been to heaven three times, so finding his way now shouldn't be a problem. Godspeed, Mr. Schirra.
