Space Pioneer: Former NASA Astronaut and Administrator Richard Truly Dies at 86
Richard Truly, a distinguished former NASA Administrator and pioneering astronaut, passed away on February 27, 2024, at the age of 86 in his home in Genesee, Colorado. Truly’s remarkable career spanned several decades, during which he left an indelible mark on the United States Navy and NASA, and by extension, on humanity’s quest to explore space.
