Death Impends 7,367 Posted November 7, 2017 A name that missed out on my space theme team as when it came to the US astronauts I picked, I gave priority to the actual moon men and the best known of those who didn't actually set foot (ie Collins, Lovell).

Nonetheless, one of the 24 people who had been to the moon. Worth noting also that he was on the Apollo 12 mission. Paul J. Weitz, part of the Support Crew for that mission died just over 2 weeks ago.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_J._Weitz EDIT: 10/24 are now deceased according to Wiki. The surviving 14 are all in their 80s now, with a few of them set to hit 90 next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw it before I posted it, but I took the liberty of mentioning him because they were both involved in the same mission, which wasn’t included in your post because Gordon hadn’t died yet. Obviously. Are you pissed because I didn’t quote you Joey? I’m sorry. **All credit to Joey Russ for reporting the death of Paul Weitz.** Happy? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
