so it sounds like he was still very involved in what nasa was doing. projects, as far as you know? whenjohn retired officially from nasa after 42 years, in 2004, i think, the gift that we gave him from the astronaut office was a permanent access badge to come to the space centre, to come into any meeting he ever wanted to come to, to lend both his expertise, but also his engineering acumen. and john would come into meetings for yea rs john would come into meetings for years afterwards as a retired person, just because not only was he interested , person, just because not only was he interested, but he had so much to contribute. of course, he was 87 when he passed away, and age catches up when he passed away, and age catches up with us all, butjohn was... he was as much a part of the space programme as anybody has ever been. i know you say that he was very forward—looking. but how did he viewed his legacy? did he ever talk to you about that? he wasn't the type of guy to talk about a legacy, but he wrote a book cover and in it he talked about the fact th
