fred cenko Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 Absolute legends as was Allan Shepard before him.We use that word legends many times,but words cant describe these guys,Their missions never tried and tested apart from Yuri Gagarin just beating them,no fancy wiz bang computers,sitting in tight cramped sardine liked conditions,as were the mercury capsules.What a life to be celebrated. 1
