Gil Moore

I am deeply saddened to hear of Gil's passing. I first met him in 1978 when I was a student. He went out of his way many times to help me. The first time that he saw me with a @NASA badge on he told me how proud he was. Gil Moore was the archetype of all space mentors. #AdAstra https://t.co/iwx05CAtoK
