Remembering Frank Borman: NASA Astronaut and Aviation Pioneer
Frank Borman, a legendary NASA astronaut and commander of the Apollo 8 mission, has passed away at the age of 95. Borman, who played a vital role in the United States' endeavor to beat the Soviets in the space race, was known for his blunt candor and lack of interest in returning to the moon. Despite his disinterest in lunar exploration, Borman's trip around the moon in 1968 was a significant Cold War victory. He captured the iconic "Earthrise" photo and returned to Earth without sharing much about his experience with his family.
