This video recalls some of the many contributions he made to aerospace research during his seven-year stint at the center before he was selected for NASA's astronaut corps.Credit: NASASource: DrydenTV - YouTube Channel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keninsc Posted March 27, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sadly, after he walked on the Moon he knew NASA wouldn't let him do anything else, he was now a "Hero". I recall seeing him talk to someone once about wishing he could go back and undo that accomplishment. While it was the high point of his career it was also the end of it. Fame is a double edged sword. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
