Just realized. The day Sputnik 1 was launched. Kind of ironic.
Rest in peace Col. Cooper.

RIP Gordo.

Would Gordo be the last person to orbit the earth by himself?

Whoa. Seventy-seven years old, a member of the Original Seven.

If I was one of those numerology k00ks, I'd be apoplectic. As it is, I'm
sadly musing over the weird irony of it.

Godspeed, Gordo.

Goodbye, Gordo.

Plus you forgot Yang Liwei, in October 2003.

When he saw the light, it was a transporter beam from the Zeta Reticulans.
