And so the man who developed, influenced, or touched the design of every
20th century spacecraft is gone.

Sad indeed.

....they'll be long remembered though. Fred Whipple, Gordo, now Max
Faget (not to mention Christopher Reeve and Keith Miller[*]).

Legends all - RIP.
[*] Who's Keith Miller? Imagine Joe DiMaggio, Sammy Baugh, Edward
Murrow and Douglas Bader rolled into a single person. That's Keith
Miller.

"Boris, dahling...why are ve going after dis scientist instead of
moose and squirrel?"

"Because, Natasha, ve don't want Amerikans to beat us in space with
superior capsule. Remember, ve are using diving bells bought from Red
Army surplus store!"

"But Boris, what would Army be doing with diving bells?"

"I donno, but what I want to know is what Navy is doing with tanks!"
