And just a few days after the farewell concert.

Part of me is a little surprised that he lasted as long as he did, but the guy remains an absolute legend.

Good you remembered to add his age.

Wouldn't want to upset the Guardian of the Discussion Board

Tom Lehrer, aged 97.

Just loved this bloke, got his albums

I've always believed that the world is a better place while he is alive, so it's just taken one more turn for the worse

Jim Lovell aged 97

'To Infinity and Beyond!'  Safe journey !

"Houston, we've had a problem...." probably the greatest understatement of all time?

As to infinity and beyond, the vastness of space is unbelievable, the distances involved are enormous. To get anywhere, the speed of light is too slow! It took days to travel a quarter of a million miles to the moon, so the speed we can travel in space at the moment is far, far too slow. Voyager 1 has been travelling for nearly 50 years and in that time has "only" covered about 1500.6 billion miles.

Were we able to accelerate to the speed of light, we'd also have to work out how to decelerate and not only that, how to evade destruction by impacting inter-stellar dust/particles etc, it'd sure be a case of "shields up".

I think my finger slipped there  It's travelled 15,569,600,000 miles and counting...... in 48 years.
