Sad news indeed -

I feel a viewing of 'The Right Stuff' may be on the cards......

An International Pioneer and hero RIP.

Those early flights are etched into our minds, I can still remember the tension watching these programs they took your mind way beyond the horizon.

We are eternally grateful for that.

That was Buzz Aldrin. He's in hospital in NZ but doing OK (he's on Twitter).
