Default Alan Bean, third man on the Moon, passes away.

Apollo 12 Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean passed away today at the age of 86.

We've lost another moon walker. So sad.

Soon they'll all be gone.

Later! OL J R

Yes, very sad. That leaves only Aldrin, Scott, Duke, and Schmitt from Apollos 11, 15, 16, and 17, respectively. Four out of twelve. Our heroes are leaving us.
