In Memoriam: Gordon Cooper
Irony abounds in life, and in death. Gordon Cooper, one of the original Mercury Seven, passed into the light the day the X-Prize was won. He was a character, and a pioneer who left a number of legacies. Somehow, I suspect he is laughing his rear end off at the timing of his death. He will be missed. May the light shine on his family in the days ahead.
