Most Experienced Astronaut Dies At 87

American astronaut John Young, who stepped on the moon in 1972 and even brought a corned beef sandwich into orbit during a career that made him the only person to fly with three space programs of the NASA, died at the age of 87.  Young, who has been six times in space, died Friday night at his home in Houston following pneumonia-related complications, said the spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Aviation Administration. space, Allard Beutel.

The former U.S. Navy test pilot was the ninth person to set foot on the moon, an experience shared by three others after Young. He eventually became one of the most accomplished astronauts in the history of the U.S. space program. May his soul rest in peace. #Africa ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
