RIP CAPT McCandless.

And FYI, he’s son of a MOH winner at Guadalcanal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_McCandless,

And, his great-great grandfather was killed in a shootout by Wild Bill Hickok (some say murdered by “Wild Bill” - long ago, so who knows...)

My family and I spent today at the Kennedy Space Center. As we were leaving, I told my daughter that these astronauts are have always been my heroes. I'm sad to see another one pass.



Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.
