HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY to Apollo 16 Moonwalker Charlie Duke! 🚀
90 orbits of the Sun and a stroll on the Moon.
One of only four men left with us who have walked on another world.

He also transmitted those famous first words to Armstrong and Aldrin: "We copy you down Eagle . . . You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot."

Thanks for the shout out Andy and agree that @jodrellbank.bsky.social is a great day out too!

Hi Michael - great to see you there! I think Linghams Books (Heswall) still have some linghams.co.uk/product/gemi...

On what would have been John Young's 95th birthday!
Flew two Gemini missions, flew to the Moon twice - walking on its surface as Commander of Apollo 16, then went on to Command the first Shuttle mission!
Legend!

Delighted to finally reveal the new SPACE gallery at London's @sciencemuseum.org.uk!
It was a pleasure to help - providing what may well be the largest photo of the🌖on🌎!
The gallery is stunning, and it's so special to see the Apollo 10 Command Module alongside Soyuz.

Thanks Pete!

🙏🤞🤞

Thank you Roger! The gallery looks stunning - such an honour to help out, and a great evening too 🚀

So many other great artifacts - go check it out!

Remembering Edgar Mitchell, who would have turned 95 today!
He left his mark here on Earth, and elsewhere, including the Fra Mauro highlands on the Moon, during Apollo 14.

Remembering Tom Stafford on what would have been his 95th birthday.
Through the window of his Gemini spacecraft (L) and Apollo LM (R) in the 1960's, he witnessed Earth and the Moon from a cosmic perspective.

Good point! I guess we'll never know. It would have made for some spectacular photographs too
