RIP FRANK BORMAN, 1928 – 2023


 R.I.P Frank Borman who died on Tuesday age 95

Borman was the Command Pilot of Gemini 7 which spent 14 days in space and the Commander of Apollo 8 the first manned mission to orbit the Moon in December 1968. 

Borman was also the man in charge of the commission that investigated the Apollo 1 fire. It’s likely we would’ve never made it to the moon if BORMAN hadn’t bluntly suggested that congress stop playing politics and let them get back to work.

Ad Astra.
