Pierre Baldi dead at 103

Maybe, but I've noticed that her health appears to improve as the distance between her and Boris Johnson increases

So, at the earliest still a week later than our winning pick - no probs.

Mel Brooks is 96.

Current status of the Apollo astronauts from what I know. Walt Cunningham (Apollo 7) - In good shape and still actively involved in events and stuff Frank Borman (Apollo 8) - No longer appears in public since his wife's death, also the oldest living astronaut currently Jim Lovell (Apollo 8 and Apollo 13) - No recent updates but I believe he's still doing well William Anders (Apollo 8) - Rarely appears in public so not sure of his status, seemed okay at the most recent Apollo 8 reunion. Jim McDivitt (Apollo 9) - Physically frail, but still mentally sharp Rusty Schweickart (Apollo 9) - Actively involved in public life, in excellent shape and will not be going anytime soon David Scott (Apollo 9 and Apollo 15) - No updates in a long time so not sure of his current status, but seemed frail from the most recent appearances I could find Thomas Stafford (Apollo 10) - Needed assistance walking in Alexei Leonov's funeral back in 2019 and looks to have clearly declined since then, looking extremely frail now and is clearly not standing straight Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11) - In decent shape, still active but definitely not as much as he used to be, has slowed down quite a bit now Fred Haise (Apollo 13) - Still active and doing well Charles Duke (Apollo 16) - In excellent shape for his age, still quite active and makes regular public appearances, won't be going anytime soon Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17) - Same as Charlie Duke but in even better shape, I'd say he's probably going to be the last moonwalker standing assuming we don't have any in the next 10-15 years Overall I would watch out for Aldrin, Borman and Stafford, maybe Lovell, McDivitt and Scott too.
