At age 97.   He had the right stuff.

A true legend, rest in peace Chuck!

The giant among a peer group of giants.

Did more before turning 25 than most accomplish in a lifetime.

Rest Easy General!

My dad is 72 and grew up in the midst of the space race...he's always nerded out reading about aeronautics and space exploration. He has a dog-eared copy of Yeager's autobiography 'Yeager' on his bookshelf that I'll bet he's read a dozen times, and I guess a little of that rubbed off on me. I watched The Right Stuff for about the 7th or 8th time about a month ago...couldn't help but wonder how much longer Chuck would be with us.

Speaking of which, I need to check out new The Right Stuff series on Disney+.

I almost started to do that yesterday but it had really bad reviews.  Will probably watch it still, at some point.
