It is with deep sorrow that the space development and activism community says goodbye to one of the space race's icons, Jack King, known to many as "The Voice of Apollo". Mr. King died on June 11, 2015 at a hospice facility not far from the Kennedy Space Center, a fitting place for him to be when it came time.
The passing of Mr. King reenforces in my mind my dedication to space activism and development. His iconic voice was, for many years, an inspiration to many, including myself. It is time for younger voices to raise up and echo his legacy. We are at "... minus ten and counting ..." with the future weighing upon our shoulders.
Farewell, Mr. King ... your spirit dances amongst the stars, we'll be there soon!
