Mattingly and Borman

Postby chopper_nut » Fri Nov 10, 2023 12:11 pm

Not sure if this news has filtered down through the usual aviation channels bit we just lost two Apollo astronauts within a short period. On October 31, T.K. 'Ken' Mattingly (Apollo 16, STS-4, STS-51C) and today, it was announced Frank Borman (Gemini VII, Apollo 8) died on the November 7. Not many of these guys left now.

Sad news Nick. Was Frank Borman one of the "Seven"?
