Met him about ten years ago while we were both in the hospital. He kept saying in heavily accented English to anyone who came within 15 feet, “first in space!”

Edit: ten years, not fifteen. Who can keep track anyway?

Sorry, but I am going to call this a pile of BS. Do you really have any proof of this? I am really surprised that you are upvoted on this, considering that on HN everyone requires proof of some sort (most of the time). One of his latest interviews was with EuroNews in 2017 (https://youtu.be/2qEM6Unzsm4), and he sounded very impressive for his age, in comparison with what you are trying to convey. And I am sure (judging from his multiple interviews), he could keep track of his time much better than you are anyways. P.S @kingkawn - do you have any interviews/profiles with any major news companies to prove your creds for verification to substantiate your claims?

Nope, just my own life. You can take it or leave it however you want, doesnt change that I lived it.

That doesn't count for much.

Or maybe he wasn't saying that and you were hallucinating?

Can't imagine what that would have been like. I think I would have thought he was crazy to begin with.
