Was Kraft ill for some time, or was this sudden? Just wondering if he had the chance to participate in any of the celebrations at JSC this past week. |

Kraft had been in failing health for some time; it was hoped he would be able to come out for the dedication of the restored Apollo Mission Operations Control Room but he was absent from both ceremonies. To my knowledge, he did not take part in any 50th anniversary activities. |

Very sad that he passed away at time of Apollo 11's 50th anniversary marker; overall, we thank him for his year of service with the NASA space program. |

R.I.P Christopher Kraft, you are an immortal in the space program. Thank you for the unforgettable contributions you made to NASA. I am grateful that you signed your book for me years ago. You will never be forgotten. |
