Apollo 10 member Thomas Stafford passed away on 18 March 2024 aged 93 which can confirmed in the many sources. May he rest in peace.

After an unfortunate situation, Record_116 seems to no longer be able to post in this thread, but this thread is literally about the survivor of the moonwalker, and its updates have nothing to do with conflicts between members. I hope he will be able to post in the thread.

Thanks you for let me/us know that, dear @finbarrc. I'm shocked that he had left the world. He is also the inspiration for the famous movie and novel protagonist David Bowman of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Rest in eternal peace, Ken Mattingly and Frank Borman.

75% have passed the age of 82, which iis comfortably above the male life expectancy in many first world countries.

Probably many logical reasons for this, including health, social enconomic position, access to quality health care etc.

Let’s hope there’s a centenarian or 2 in the group.
