CNN: Last surviving Apollo 7 astronaut has died – CNN — Walter Cunningham, a retired NASA astronaut and pilot of the first crewed flight in the space agency’s famed Apollo program, died early Tuesday morning at the age of 90, NASA said. Cunningham was one of the earliest members of NASA’s human spaceflight program as a member of its third astronaut class, joining the space agency in 1963. He was selected to pilot Apollo 7, the first crewed mission of the NASA program that went on to land humans on the moon for the first time. “We would like to express our immense pride in the life that he lived, and our deep gratitude for the man that he was — a patriot, an explorer, pilot, astronaut, husband, brother, and father,” the Cunningham family noted in a statement shared by NASA. “The world has lost another true hero, and we will miss him dearly.”

Interview taped on Thursday December 11, 2014 at the UN Lima, Peru Climate Change Summit
Apollo 7’s Walt Cunningham: ‘My background in space science. My doctoral thesis that I was working on was fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetic field. I have no political inhibitions at all, I just think we ought to be honest about this and not be trying to use it to our own ends to try to get money from the government.’ Also see: Apollo Astronaut Slams UN for perpetrating the ‘one of the biggest frauds in the field of science’
Marc Morano: ‘The UN is first and foremost political and they have bastardized science to achieve a political end…The UN claims that they can alter global temperature and storminess and weather events many decades to 100 years into the future. And the United Nations does not have that power — that is reserved for medieval witchcraft.’

Apollo 7 astronaut Walter Cunningham: ‘Skeptics like us are challenged to disprove their hypothesis,’ Cunningham said. ‘Scientists are best qualified to deal with the scientific questions but we all have to deal with the financial consequences of any actions taken on bad science.’ – ‘In the 1980s a small group of individuals became concerned about the Earth’s temperature and what it might do in the future. I hesitate to call them scientists because they have abandoned their scientific principals by which their guess about temperature increases and the cause could achieve scientific acceptance or rejection.’ # In questions [to Morano & Cunningham at UN press conference], one representative from the UK Youth Climate Coalition said: ‘I’m going to call bullshit on everything that you have just said. You guys are the ones being naive and you guys are the ones ignoring the science. I don’t even know what to ask. I think my question would just be… how do you sleep at night?’

Skeptics Descend on UN Climate Summit
Col. Walt Cunningham to UN: ‘CO2 is not a pollutant! Earth’s climate history indicates CO2 is not a major factor in climate change. The UN has twisted science in order to enrich itself and inflates its own importance.’
Climate Depot’s Morano: ‘The science behind the claims of man-made global warming continue to wackier and wackier.’
Morano on UN climate process: ‘This is a political pressure campaign. The UN climate process will do nothing for climate change and it is completely designed to enrich the UN. This is a self-interested UN trying to get more money and more power for itself.’
