Sadly we're likely to see more of Astronauts from that generation go

Good to know. I read recently that NASA reused (taped over) much of the original

You're thinking of Buzz Aldrin

That's sad. He was easily my favorite Beatle.

Died at 95. Combat and test pilot, astronaut, and senator is a heck of a life
