[i]My mother has decided to part with several boxes of material that belonged to her brother, John H. Cooper, a NASA engineer and geology-specialist flight controller at the Manned Spacecraft Center (later re-named Johnson Space Center) during the Apollo Program. He was also involved in the development of the Lunar Rover. He died in early 1973, near the summit of Mt. Aconcagua (Argentina), shortly after participating in Apollo 17, the last manned moon mission. Below is a screenshot of him from the NASA documentary, "On the Shoulders of Giants," which includes footage of him taken during Apollo 17. I've also included a screenshot of one of the articles about his death, this one from NASA's in-house publication, ROUNDUP. It took nearly a year, but he was finally brought home at Christmas 1973, 40 years ago.[/i]
