We have lost another one of our Apollo Astronauts.
Frank Borman was the first to pilot a craft around the moon
I remember the Apollo 8 circling the moon at Christmas

Yes , that Stanley Kubrick film was very good in its time .

Loved it when they forgot to stop the flag from fluttering . Nearly choked on my Pudding .

Best attempted Fake News was when they said the Moon rang like a bell for 30 minutes when they lowered the steps .
But some Gullibles swallowed the whole yarn .

Understand .
It is so difficult for Deniers when they cannot even explain how a flag flutters when there is no atmosphere .

Perhaps off- camera a meteor coincidentally landed and sent up a little dust cloud .rofl .

Frank Borman took what is perhaps the most iconic photo in history: seeing the Earth from beyond our world for the first time showing that we are all one.

So you double down on the stupid

One of my PAs thinks that Buzz gave an almighty sneeze due to the moon dust which blew the flag .

Presumably before his famous look at the horizon where he saw several space craft lined up .​

I heard a story on NPR about him a few years back. He became quite an enigma. The story of his wife was especially touching.

Wasn’t she an alcoholic?

I do not recall the details.

Was he 95? It seems like only yesterday. RIP

Kinetic energy.
I don’t expect someone who is denying that he is currently communicating via the same space travel as the moon landings were to understand.

Wow, 95.
A family member was on the Yorktown when they picked up the crew of Apollo 8, and I was given a bunch of photos of the guys. A treasure I've always cherished.
