NNnnnnooooooo! He was a hero of mine! I'm going to need some time to proses this
Yeah. It's sad he's gone, I just learned about it when I got back home.
He was the template for space explorers: a man with great character and at the same time, a simple and down to earth guy, coupled with huge technical expertise and nerves of steel.
I saw this quote on Slashdot, and though it to be very fitting for the occasion.
"A scientific colleague tells me about a recent trip to the New Guinea highlands, where she visited a stone age culture hardly contacted by Western civilization. They were ignorant of wristwatches, soft drinks, and frozen food. But they knew about Apollo 11. They knew that humans had walked on the Moon. They knew the names of Armstrong and Aldrin and Collins." from A Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan

He's left our world once, it's sad that he had to do so again.

Rest in peace. He was an inspiration for many.
