Never? That's insane.


I'm more attuned to the Willy Ley style of science "fiction".

"Ley died at the age of 62 on June 24, 1969 - less than a month before men
first landed on the Moon -, in his home in Jackson Heights, Queens, where he
had lived with his family since the mid-1950s."

Oh crap. Not only did he die a month before the first moon landing, but he
died down the street from where I grew up at the time. I'll try to find out
if there's a plaque for him.
