Description:
Astronaut John Young, who walked on the Moon during Apollo 16 and commanded the first space shuttle mission, passed away at the age of 87, Jan 5, 2018. Young began his career at NASA in 1962, when he was selected to join NASA's second astronaut class, known as the 'New Nine'. Young first flew in space on the first manned Gemini flight, Gemini 3 in March 1965. He later commanded the Gemini 10 mission in July 1966, served as command module pilot on Apollo 10 in 1969, and landed on the Moon as commander of Apollo 16 in April 1972. He went on to command the first Space Shuttle flight in 1981, and also commanded the STS-9 shuttle mission in 1983. He is the only person to go into space as part of the Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle programs and was the first to fly into space six times (or seven times, when counting his lift-off from the Moon during Apollo 16).
