Uncomfortable and itchy as fukk!”
Dick Gordon and Paul Weitz –
Astronauts, naval officers, space cases.
October 5, 1929 – November 6, 2017 and
July 25, 1932 – October 22, 2017.
Aged 88 & 85, respectively.
Most recognized for: Dick piloted NASA spacecrafts in both the Gemini and Apollo programs while Pete piloted the first manned mission to Skylab. Back in their day, astronauts were viewed with godlike reverence… granted sexual gratification from random passers-by upon command. These days? “You’re an astronaut? Yeah right… Oh, you’re for real? Who cares.”
