Bio and obit here: https://www.nasa.gov/astronautprofiles/gordon

One of the greats imho, Pete Conrad’s Command Module Pilot on Apollo 12. Notorious for acquiring 3 gold Corvette Stingrays for him and his “all Navy” Apollo 12 crew.

Known as a hell of a pilot and all around good guy.

The fact that I find this out via AW’s and haven’t seen anything about it in the MSM is a fucking disgrace...

Some fucking baseball player dies in a plane wreck it leads the news, but a real pilot, and hero, dies and no one cares...
