John W. Young Soars Forever Free

Rest In Peace, John Watts Young

Another astronaut clears the tower. Remember John W. Young for his flight to the Moon, his role as commander of the flight of the first space shuttle in 1981, and his many other achievements.

Let’s salute his work and remember his presence.
