We've lost a hero. Thomas Stafford, veteran of four space missions, including the moon landing dress rehearsal Apollo 10 mission, passed away today after a long illness. He was 93..

Here, he's shaking hands with cosmonaut Alexey Leonov, after Stafford's Apollo rendezvoused with a Soyuz spacecraft in 1975.

This gets a little bit technical, but I feel it's an important article for anyone concerned about cancer (which includes most of us, I think 😉) It talks about Breast Cancer cells, but I can't help but think it may apply to other forms of cancer as well.
