The legendary NASA flight director,born February 28th 1924,
died July 22nd 2019 (no idea if there was a matter of wanting
to stay alive for the Apollo 11 anniversary and then feeling done).
His full name was Christopher Columbus Kraft Jr. but space mission
coverage routinely called him Chris Kraft,inviting confusion with
the powerboat company Chris-Craft,founded by Christopher Columbus
Smith.

Oh no... This hits really hard - especially with the anniversary.

God speed Chris Kraft.  God speed.

Cheers,
Paul
