Ken Mattingly, Astronaut Bumped From Apollo 13, Is Dead at 87
The astronaut played by Gary Sinise in Apollo 13, who missed out on that voyage of the (almost) damned thanks to a false alarm for German measles. He later flew around (and around and around) the moon as command module pilot on Apollo 16 and at least one early Shuttle mission.
