Glynn Lunney. NASA Flight Director.

Glynn S. Lunney, a legendary NASA flight director who went on duty moments after the Apollo 13 spacecraft exploded on the way to the moon and who played a pivotal role bringing the crew safely back to Earth, died Friday after a long illness. He was 84.

Beginning his career fresh out of college in 1958, Lunney helped devise the complex, rigorously followed flight rules used to govern missions through the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, and became NASA's fourth flight director under the tutelage of the man who defined the role, Christopher Kraft.

Joining Kraft, John Hodge and Gene Kranz, Lunney held down shifts in mission control during the early years of the space program and eventually rose to chief of the flight director's office at the Johnson Space Center through most of the Apollo moon program.

He later would manage the first joint flight with Russia — the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project — and serve as the space shuttle program manager in Houston. After retiring from NASA, he worked for Rockwell International, builder of the space shuttle, and later served as vice president of United Space Alliance, the company that serviced and maintained the shuttle for NASA.

Oh man. That hurts.

This one hurts. Archer was easily one of my favorite shows, and I never noticed till today she was the voice of Fran Sinclair (Mama) in Dinosaurs.

Fuck. No no no.

[Corrderio]

Fucking hell... I didn't know she voiced Mallory

GDI this one sucks balls. I new she was old and I was hoping they could at least get one more season of Archer with her in it. I already knew another Arrested Development Season was not going to happen, but not having her for Archer anymore sucks...im beyond sad.

Damn that fucking sucks. Not having Malory Archer anymore completely changes the dynamic of the show.

Someone on reddit suggested that they have her die of natural causes, but Archer believes it was a hit and he goes on a Rampage and deals with the stages of grief. Terms of Enrampagement 2....

Idk if they were gonna try to do another season of Arrested Development but this has to kill it, no way you could do that show without Lucille.

Archer they could probably try to squeeze a season of him dealing with his mother's death, but his interactions with her are so central to how the show works I can't imagine the show will keep working long term.

Well shit.

My daughter read a Ramona book just recently. Sad to see her pass, but wow she lived a long time!

[Melena]

I honestly didn't know she was still alive. Hard to feel sad when it's 104. But damn, another part of my childhood gone.
