— В возрасте 90 лет погиб Билл Андрес, астронавт программы Аполлон, автор знаменитой фотографии ”Восход Земли”. Он умер, пытаясь выполнить петлю на маленьком самолёте.
Из 24 астронавтов, побывавших на и над Луной, в живых остаются лишь 6.

— Starliner совершил свой первый успешный пилотируемый полёт к МКС, доставив на борт 2 астронавтов. До этого этот-же корабль летал только с неживым грузом в автоматическом режиме.
Перед запуском была выявлена утечка гелия, используемого для нагнетания давления в маневровых баках корабля, но после очередной задержки его решили запускать не смотря на утечку. Во время полёта обнаружилось ещё пара утечек, последнюю, пятую утечку, обнаружили уже после стыковки с МКС.

The brave man who took this iconic photo, one of the first 3 humans to ever leave Earth orbit and travel to the Moon, died yesterday. #BillAnders, I salute you.

Earthrise is a photograph of Earth and part of the Moon's surface that was taken from lunar orbit by astronaut William Anders on December 24, 1968, during the Apollo 8 mission. Nature photographer Galen Rowell described it as "the most influential environmental photograph ever taken".

I have a framed copy of his famous #Earthrise photo. Never get tired of seeing it.
The irony of him surviving a trip to the moon but dying in a plane crash on earth.
