Smilies Legend
[i]Bob Pearson was the man who taught Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin how to land on the moon while the Kennedy Space Center was home to the Flight Crew Training Building. It is where every astronaut trained to land on the moon, including the crew of Apollo 11. "I've landed on the moon more times than anybody in the world," said Pearson, the lunar module simulator lead instructor. At the Kennedy Space Center, Pearson taught all of the Apollo astronauts how to land on the moon, inside the lunar module simulator. "Nobody spent as much time in that simulator than I did," he explained.[/i]
[i]Bob was active as support of the American Space Museum, and he is survived by his wife, Barbara, nieces and cousins. He was also a Civil War historian, and member car clubs, as he loved driving his beautiful 1951 MG Td around Merritt Island with the top down. Mr. Pearson will be buried in his hometown of Holly, Michigan on Friday, Jan. 17.[/i]
