Wtf wait did Bryant Gumble pass?? No Gumble 2 Gumble reunion?? Talk about burying the lede
Anders took the Earthrise photo.
We came all this way to explore the Moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth.
Reporting says he died in the crash of a plane he was piloting. Video of crash at Twitter (from a distance).
Itâs remarkable how many of the legendary OG astronauts are still with us. Buzz, Valentina, Jim Lovell, etc.
Is there any indication yet whether the crash was intentional?
No. But it has to have crossed peoplesâ minds. He was 90 and out there stunt flying. There was all that D-day nostalgia. Who knows.
Astronauts are notorious adrenaline junkies, you have to be a little bit messed up to be a test pilot.
RIP Larry Allen
Didnât even see it mentioned on ESPNâs main page.
it looks like he was doing a loop and tries to pull up before the water, altitude was just too low
He died June 2, ESPN had it as one of the top headlines once the news broke on June 3.

Weird I canât find an official obit anywhere, but everyone says heâs died
Edit: well that would explain it
