Scott Carpenter Has Passed Away

Gone at 88

 

Scott Carpenter, Mercury astronaut, pioneer and hero of my youth (I was fortunate to have many...John Glenn, Neil Armstrong...the greats), has gone to his reward.

 

God speed, Scott Carpenter!

“Oh I Have Slipped
The Surly Bonds of Earth...
Put Out My Hand
And Touched the Face of God ”


Rest In Peace, hero.

RIP Scott. The Mercury crews were among the bravest of the brave, so many unknowns and ways for things to go wrong. They were true trailblazers.
