NASA photographer passes away.

You may not know the name, but you would have certainly seen his photographs. William Taub passed away last month. He was responsible for just about every official photo taken of NASA astronauts in the 1960's. He had exclusive access to the astronauts and was often the last person to view the astronauts prior to their lockdown in their respective spacecraft prior to launch.

We thanks and owe him for the legacy he has left behind: an outstanding visual history of the US space program.
