November 14, 1930 … Happy 90th birthday astronaut Edward White ! Today would have been the 90th birthday of NASA astronaut Edward H. White, who made the first US spacewalk in June 1965. A true American hero, Ed White was selected in NASA astronaut Group 2 but he died in the Apollo 1 pad fire in January 1967. This photo shows astronaut White holding a picture of JFK while attending a ceremony at Brooks Air Force Base in June 1965. A week after the Gemini IV spaceflight mission, Edward White still wore one of his pair of NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster 105.003-63 chronograph on a velcro strap. (Photo: USAF/UPI)

Happy birthday to Walter Marty “Wally” Schirra Jr. (March 12, 1923 – May 3, 2007)!

“You don’t raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes.” -Walter Schirra, Sr. on his son Wally, 1962
