I was 7 when he went back up. I still remember it reasonably well. We learned all about it at school and I did a project on it. It's cool he made it to 95.

RIP. I have to say, I am saddened that there wasn't some kind of release of the things that they did and saw in space that he couldn't/wouldn't tell while he was alive. Listening to the recordings, it seems that there was more to the stories than was ever told to the public. A hero regardless!
