The first time I saw Chuck Yeager, I shot him down. Sorry about that, Yeager family.

Back in the day there were 2 astronauts who were to be on the same mission, got married, but kept it a secret, since they wouldn't have been allowed to go together.

You know they banged. How can you go to space and not bang? How could you live with yourself if you didn't?

And some folks are up for months. You're gonna jack/jill one off at least a few times.

And much like Sputnik, the Russians had the first mixed crew and did it first.

So those are the fastest orgasms and ejaculations in history.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk on Space Jizz.

There’s gotta be a a space fleshlight. NASA’s budget is far too large for there not to be.

Well, there's your problem!
Read The Right Stuff earlier this year, and it was great. Apparently his folksy drawl and cool demeanour when speaking on the comms made pilots mimick him thus creating this classic “folksy pilot voice” we hear today on commercial flights. Or so the myth is.

As a kid I was a huge aviation nerd and Chuck was my hero so my Mom tried to arrange for him to call me on my 18th b-day.

Apparently he was going to but something came up at the last minute, according to his agent or whoever it was that called to apologize. He did send a card later though!

RIP Chuck

I just found out that one of my infrequently visited social media accounts had someone with the last name "Messerschmidt" follow me yesterday. Come back, Chuck, I got one on my six!

I read his autobiography - the one where the cover is just a photo of him, no border - when I was 10 or 11 and a huge airplane nerd. I think he was the first celebrity of any kind that I actually admired. He talks a bit about always messing with anything mechanical to try to understand it, and I took that on in my impressionable young mind. I spent about a year dissassembling doorknobs and ruining kitchen appliances, trying to be more mechanically-minded. Now I just break bicycles and give up on cars.

RIP Chuck.

If you ammend that to "a few days ago" instead of last week, it's literally true for me. This thread is how I found out. Plus, he only went a little over the barrier, Mach 2+ came later.
