I just read that astronaut Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14) died yesterday on the eve of his 45th anniversary of walking on the moon. Wes had his characters, Mark and Jackie, witness the launch of Apollo 14 in his first book, Rocinante, though he took some artistic liberty in dating it in April, 1971 instead of February, 1971.

Sorry, I was mistaken. Apparently, Mark and Jackie were viewing the launch of Apollo 15 which took place in July-August, 1971. There were three different astronaut (Scott and Irwin walked on the moon). Later, the University of Michigan awarded all three honorary degrees.
