Glynn Lunney
So very sorry to hear of the passing of Black Flight Glynn Lunney. Considered the smartest of all the early Flight Directors, probably the true hero of Apollo 13, Space Shuttle Program Manager early on and founding CEO of United Space Alliance. Condolences to his family.

Exceptional engineer, flight director, manager, and human being. May he rest in peace.
Mr Lunney was a Legend in his field and will be missed. Ad-Astra, Sir – may your work and memory light the way to the future.
RIP Mr. Lunney.
Deepest sympathies to his family and all who came to know him.
He was my boss’s boss’s boss’s…boss in Houston. Years later I had a chance to speak with him about a variety of topics when he kindly agreed to provide a blurb for my novel. (That he enjoyed it and its authenticity meant so much to me; not that he didn’t have a few insightful recommendations…)
A class act and an impressively capable individual who contributed mightily to our nation’s accomplishments in space exploration.

A true gentleman.
