Sadly, legendary space pioneer of Apollo missions, Frank Borman, died on the 7th of November 2023.

Borman led Apollo 8 mission. He was the commander of Apollo 8, the first mission to fly around the Moon, and together with crewmates Jim Lovell and William Anders, became the first of 24 humans to do so, for which he was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. (Wiki)

A man with 50 years of advance against the all humanity can only leave us too soon. Rip.
