Missed this yesterday, but i feel like it's worth posting here:

Mercury 7 astronaut Gordon Cooper died yesterday, at the age of 77. Slowly but surely, all my heros are dying. And very few of the Shuttle astronauts seem to be as charasmatic, or something like that (there are a few very notable exceptions)... Maybe as spaceflight has (had) become so routine, the people who fly seem more mudane and normal. Or maybe it's because there's just a whole lot of Shuttle astronauts, and only seven Mecury astronauts (and small numbers of Gemini and Apollo astronauts as well).
