Nice tribute.

What's the map for? Photographic/imaging purposes?

It was fun to get Hank going on politics. His passing is a great loss.

Well, the map is of the US, so it can't be for where to do a BM, unless the highlighted areas are concentrations of people who are of a different political party than him....

That doesn't help...Yes, I recognized the map of the US and the highlighted areas, hence my question (what's BM!!?!)...

LOL. Hart is referencing an "incident" illustrated in Mike Mullane's book "Riding Rockets."

Yeah, Cuba isn't on that map, so Hank couldn't have been using it to "plan ahead."

Seriously, thanks for posting this pic Ed. I would guess you had something ready for Apollo 11, but I appreciate your acknowledgement of Hank's passing. These are always tough — and discouragingly frequent now — but the loss of another early shuttle driver hits me especially hard.
