Dr Fred Whipple

Thank you to everyone who posted obituaries for Dr Whipple.

One small note: Dr Whipple was the last surviving member of the group of
writing contributors to the Collier's Magazine space series published
between 1952 and 1954 (headed by Dr Wernher von Braun).

The articles, illustrated by Chesley Bonestell, Rolf Klep and Fred
Freeman, were the original inspiration for my film "Man Conquers Space".

....We expect dedication accordingly when you finally get MCS on the
big screen.

On the other hand, at the rate you're going, by the time it hits said
screen, you'll probably have to add obits for most of us here...:-(
