The Right Stuff - on the Ground

 I just found out that Glynn Lunney died.

Lunney was the NASA Flight Director who oversaw much of the Apollo program. He's the guy who directed the moon landing...and helped get Apollo 13 safely home.

He also worked on the shuttle program as a manager. We tend to remember the names of the astronauts, but not so much those who support them from the ground.

Lunney was a key part of America's manned space program for many years.

He was 84 years old.
