Love Charlie Duke, what a Legend!

Ha! He left out the part where John Young interjected “You guys don’t salute in the Air Force do ya?” Or near enough.
This is the guy, for those who don’t know, talked NASA nutritionist into including Grits in outer space. Then, he could badger his crewmates “Hey, you gonna eat those Grits?” Ha!
Apollo 16 was an AMAZING mission, they all were
