WASHINGTON Frank Clark Limited Jersey , Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- John Young, America's "most experienced astronaut" who walked on the Moon during the Apollo program and commanded the first space shuttle mission, has passed away, NASA said Saturday.
Young died Friday night following complications from pneumonia, the U.S. space agency said in a statement. He was 87 years old.
"Today, NASA and the world have lost a pioneer," acting NASA Administrator Robert Lightfoot said.
Young is the only U.S. astronaut to go into space as part of the Gemini, Apollo and space shuttle programs, and the first to fly into space six times, said NASA. |
