Alan Bean and Pete Conrad, the first crew that made space flight look fun.

From interviews I have read or seen on TV, and even his portrayal in "From the Earth to the Moon" by Dave Foley, he always seemed like someone who I would have loved to meet and have a talk with.

RIP Al Bean.

Side note: His paintings were VERY expensive before. I imagine the price just went to the moon!
