Anders took the Earthrise photo.

NASA-Apollo8-Dec24-Earthrise

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).

It’s 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 peoples’ 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.

Didn’t even see it mentioned on ESPN’s 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 can’t find an official obit anywhere, but everyone says he’s died

Edit: well that would explain it

Found it funny that Google’s quick facts for Mays include the category “war”
