Thomas Stafford, NASA astronaut who led Apollo-Soyuz joint mission, dies at 93

Former NASA astronaut Thomas Stafford, who flew to the moon before leading the first international space mission carried out by the United States and Russia, has died at the age of 93.

Stafford's death on Monday (March 18) came after an extended illness, according to Max Ary, director of the Stafford Air and Space Museum in Oklahoma.

"This nation has lost one of its great heroes," said Ary in a call with collectSPACE. "We are so shocked and saddened by his passing. It's just hard to say because he was bigger than life."

My dad met and spoke with Stafford in 1966 when he presented a flag flown on Gemini 9A in honor of Elliot See at the United States Merchant Marine Academy, from which both See and my dad graduated.

We knew this was coming, but this one strikes particularly hard. Jim Lovell is now the only surviving member of Group 2.
