A friendly reminder of the existence of this T-shirt.
Hell yeah!
Me: hey Google has anyone bothered to write a book about Bob Gilruth?
Google: I’m sorry did you say “algorithm t-shirts” or “books”?
Hehehe
How bad is it to spend 4, 5 or 8 days cooped up with Tom Stafford and Eugene Cernan? (x)

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 ❤️
If anyone has this photo in better quality, I would be grateful if you could share it with me, because
awwwwww John is so cute
Awww guys!! Thank you for giving me a reason to smile.

Oh Mike, my sweetie.
“It’s human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand. Exploration is not a choice, really—it’s an imperative.” -Mike Collins
I laugh af..
hi it's two am and i made a bunch of memes, enjoy
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...
Mike... I love you. I really miss you.
I will miss you, always.
From the Collins Family:
“We regret to share that our beloved father and grandfather passed away today, after a valiant battle with cancer. He spent his final days peacefully, with his family by his side. Mike always faced the challenges of life with grace and humility, and faced this, his final challenge, in the same way. We will miss him terribly. Yet we also know how lucky Mike felt to have lived the life he did. We will honor his wish for us to celebrate, not mourn, that life. Please join us in fondly and joyfully remembering his sharp wit, his quiet sense of purpose, and his wise perspective, gained both from looking back at Earth from the vantage of space and gazing across calm waters from the deck of his fishing boat. Our family asks for privacy during this difficult time. Details on services will be forthcoming.”
I AGREE WITH YA!
People who call mike Collins “the forgotten astronaut” ....who the fuck are you? Maybe you forgot him?? Everyone who gives a fuck remembered him and loved him.
