[Colbert17!]

The forgotten astronaut on Apollo 8, Frank Borman and Jim Lovell were the other two, he is credited with taking the famous "Earthrise" picture.
Died after the plane he was piloting, at age 90, crashed off the coast of Washington state.
R.I.P.

Too bad. And still flying at 90! That's pushing it, imo.

Was flying solo too. The thought crossed my mind that maybe he crashed intentionally but probably not.

More likely a stroke or heart attack

He probably had his blinker on for the entire flight.

RIP to this national hero!
