benzman Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Ladyhawke is one of my favourite movies, because I am just an old romantic at heart. R.I.P. Rutger Hauer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Easy Rider star, co-writer and producer Peter Fonda, son of Henry Fonda and brother of Jane Fonda, died Friday from lung cancer.

TheSaint Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Ric Ocasek of The Cars died yesterday. One of my favorite bands in the 80s. Can't believe he was 75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he’d want everyone to let the good times roll... E: Update: cause-of-death was heart disease. Apparently he had a heart procedure recently, and was recovering when he was found unresponsive in his apartment Edited September 17, 2019 by StrandedonEarth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB-70A Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Just learnt it, but... Sigmund Jähn died yesterday. Originally a MiG-21 pilot in the Luftstreitkräfte, he became the first German to go in space, reaching and living aboard Salyut 6 in 1978. I still have his 1/72 MiG-21 Revell model to build one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB-70A Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 The first spacewalk, and one of the five to realise the first international spaceflight, he was the one I was the most interested about in the Soviet space program. I took a shot of his plate in Titusville this year: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benzman Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 The book The Two sides of the Moon about the growing friendship of Alexei Leonov and an initially wary David Scott gives a brilliant insight into what a pleasant, civilised person Alexei Leonov was. R.I.P. the first human to walk in space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxwellsDemon Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Clear skies, Alexei. Unquestionably one of the legendaries. Need to put an Alexei in my current Kerbal campaign in his honor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketSimplicity Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Rest in peace Alexei! You truly were a pioneer and if it wasn't for you, we likely wouldn't have seen the ISS become reality, thanks to EVAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiscelanousItem Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Alexei Leonov was one of those legendary cosmonauts but also a great artist, I would recommend anyone reading this to look his art up on Google... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
