That’s too bad, I like Yeager but I don’t know if I would call him a pioneer of space exploration in any meaninfull way.

Between December 1963 and January 1964, Yeager completed five flights in the NASA M2-F1 lifting body.The “Glamorous Glennis” is at the National Air and Space Museum.

Agreed. Riding an X-1 etc in the atmosphere is hardly ‘space exploration’. Me thinks it is sour grapes, or maybe grapes of wrath.
