I just found out that Wally Schirra, one of the Original Seven Mercury Astronauts, passed away today in California.
Yahoo News about it
I titled this "The Wally Show" because when he flew on Apollo 7 with Donn Eisele and Walt Cunningham, their antics caused some at NASA to call the mission the Wally, Walt & Donn Show."
Of the Original Seven, Only Scott Carpenter and John Glenn are left.
Godspeed Wally.
