I don't know exactly what to say at this time. His passing is a loss to a lot of people. Jim belonged to a group of people of my generation who have felt a bit let down by our government when it came to Space travel. It's been our belief that if we were to fulfill our dreams of going into space, then we'd have to take matters into our own hands and pave our own way there. Jim took major steps in that direction and this is more than just the loss of a friend.
