Frank Borman
[edit]- ... that Frank Borman (pictured) is the oldest living American astronaut? Source: "Lovell’s birthday was Sunday, and Borman celebrated his latest trip around the sun on March 14. The two nonagenarians, who were crew mates on Gemini 7 and Apollo 8, are the oldest of the surviving Apollo astronauts. The rest of their compatriots are all in the 80’s." ([1])

Improved to Good Article status by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 12:26, 18 June 2019 (UTC).
- Article is a newly promoted GA, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is interesting and verified with supplied source. Image is PD and looks good. QPQ is done. Earwig reports close paraphrasing issues with several websites, but upon close inspection, they all source their text from the official NASA bio, which is PD, so not a problem. Nice work and good to go! -Zanhe (talk) 06:44, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Hawkeye7: why is this nomination listed for a July 1 special occasion hook? Should it be in the July 21 Moon landing set? Or does it need to be a special occasion at all? Yoninah (talk) 13:24, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
