He was 73.

Selected in 1966 with NASA's fifth group of astronauts, Bull's class of 19 trainees, dubbed the "Original 19", also included future moonwalkers Charles Duke, James Irwin and Edgar Mitchell.

Training for an assignment as a lunar module pilot, Bull was named with Irwin in early 1967 to the crew of LTA-8, a thermal vacuum test of the moon lander. Citing sinus problems however, Bull was replaced by his backup prior to the test starting at the Space Enviroment Simulation Laboratory in Houston, Texas.

Together with Thomas Mattingly and Gerald Carr, Bull was then named on November 20, 1967 to the support crew for the second Apollo manned flight of the Saturn V, to assist prime and backup crew members â including Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins â as they trained.

Ultimately, that mission with its crew of Jim Lovell, Frank Borman and Bill Anders would launch in December 1968 as Apollo 8, becoming the first manned flight to orbit the Moon.

Bull would leave the astronaut corps before then however, never flying in space himself. Diagnosed with a rare pulmonary disease, he was forced to resign in July 1968.

Bull is survived by his wife, Nancy, and their two children Scott and Whitney.

Still yet another reason to get these stories told.  So, if you know anyone who wants to tell their story of their work on Apollo, Gemini, Mercury, or even Skylab, please drop us a line at apollotalks at gmail dot com.

Dr. Stuhlinger was one of the original German rocket scientists that came to the United States with Von Braun and served as Braunie's chief scientist in developing the Saturn V.

In the 1950s, he conceived what would eventually become the Hubble Space Telescope ...

If we're building space exploration on "the shoulders of giants," Dr.Ernst Stuhlinger would be one of them.

Other ways include buying an iStronaut TShirt or coffee mug from our Cafe Press or Zazzle stores.  Doing so will help defray costs associated with producing the podcast including bandwidth.

Helping us get the word out will make Conversations with Apollo not only more popular, but will allow us to court many more Apollo vets to tell their story.
