A ledgend of the Apollo program has died
 
The "Pad Fuehrer", Guenter Wendt, passed away. A man who made space a lot safer for the first to go there.

His diligence and foresight saved lives. May his soul find its rest in the hand of the Creator.

If you saw the movie 'Apollo 13' his roll was played in it. When they were preparing for launch they were joking around with this guy about them "valking un talking on the moon" as he fitted their suits.
