From time to time I think back to those first manned flights into space , and can’t imagine the bravery those men must have had. Few parallels in the history of mankind.

I meet General Tom Stafford who is best friends with him and a amazing person. They meet on the space station and that friendship lasted a lifetime. The bravery of these men are just insane.
