What a great man and a tribute to America and midwestern values. X-15 record holder and his incredible piloting skill probably saved two missions (Gemini and Apollo) that would have ended in death for 2 x 2 astronauts.
An amazing man.
I thought Pete Knight was the x-15 record holder?
Neil has survived a difficult life after the lunar missions - marriage, booze and life issues but he seems to have made it out the other end fine.
