RIP Alan Bean

Sadly we are losing the men from this exciting era.

At first his death was reported as a hoax.

Always sad when you hear about the passing of another Apollo astronaut, you always thought they invincible as a kid and would love forever

Bean the most fearful of the astronaut core and his commander Conrad the cheeky comedian

What a great team they were together on Apollo 12

RIP Al Bean ! Your achievements as an astronaut and later as an artist will be remembered forever !!
