Though I suspect that Neil will be looking up Gus Grissom, and probably have a little Vodka with Yuri Gagarin.

I thought the cloud one would be the best. I love how understated yet powerful that image is.

Then the book one kinda tied it because it was both funny and true, but the last one is right up there too. Funny in a different way. Maybe not true in a literal sense, but with a truthiness quality to it.


Excellent choices. Thanks for posting.

It isn't just his life but the fact that he represents something lost for all humanity.

I believe it was even after the first flight at Kitty Hawk, that some scientist was saying heavier than air flight would never happen.
