Glynn Lunney, NASA flight director who led from 'trench' to the moon, dies at 84

An engineer who was involved from the start in NASA's efforts to launch the first astronauts into space and who later led Mission Control through some of its most challenging and triumphant hours, flight director Glynn S. Lunney has died at the age of 84.

Lunney's death on Friday (March 19) was confirmed by NASA. A family friend said that Lunney died after a long illness.

A great legend of US manned space flight with so many achievements within the Space Task Group, NASA, and Rockwell. When I was a young teenager, he was one of the first Apollo flight directors in Houston that I was able to contact with a nice letter reply back, the first of many more that would come. Unfortunately, I can't recall in having an opportunity for a personal encounter with Mr. Lunney; My misfortune indeed. May he rest in peace!

A true gent, I was lucky enough to have met him a handful of times and he was incredibly interesting and warm, and generous with his time. Rest in peace

Soon after I renewed my enthusiasm for learning about the history of the space program, in 2007, I wrote a letter to Mr. Lunney with some questions. He replied with a three-page handwritten letter full of fascinating details. I have signed items in my collection that are worth more on the market, but I *treasure* this letter more than most of them.

Not just 'one of the greats' but one of the great guys. Extremely sad.
