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.

Sad news. But what a life. Wow I know they had to airlift him from Antarctica last week but this is still a shock. That was Buzz Aldrin. He's in hospital in NZ but doing OK (he's on Twitter).

I remember staring into TV shop windows watching those early space shots. A very brave man. RIP

A childhood hero and a great pilot. And a long life very well lived.
