“Even Among The Astronauts, Ed White Had Always Stood Out; A Strapping Six-footer Who Had Barely Missed

“Even among the astronauts, Ed White had always stood out; a strapping six-footer who had barely missed becoming an Olympic hurdler, he was known as one of the finest physical specimens in the Astronaut Office. And perhaps more than any astronaut except John Glenn, White subscribed to their ail-American image. In 1965, after he became the first American to walk in space, White easily wore the mantle of a national hero. There appeared to be no limit to how far he might go.”

So. I think it's important to do this.

I want to support everyone in the space community during this difficult time. Mike was and still is the best of the best. I already miss him and now, looking at the Moon... I will wink at him, I promise.

His life was incredibly bright, that's why we will never forget him. Just remember the words from the song Stardust.

High up in the sky the little stars climb,

Always reminding me that we're apart.

You wandered down the lane and far away

Leaving me a song that will not die.

I love each of you and hug tightly, as tightly as if I had the opportunity to hug Mike...

So. I Think It's Important To Do This.
