JOHN YOUNG IS THE BADDEST BADASS OF THEM ALL.
AWW YISS
Look at that smirk. He knows. He knows.
John W. Young is so badass, he just needs his own Tumblr. End of story.
If you don't know who he is, John Watts Young is the American space badass of all time and a veteran of six NASA space flights. Seven, if you count him taking off from the moon's surface. He is an American icon and a fashion plate.

"I handed the sandwich to Gus and he said, ‘You’re in big trouble.’ I asked why and he said, ‘No mustard.’ And Gus was right - I did get in trouble for that one. But, heck, it was the 2nd or 3rd sandwich in space - I didn’t even get a first for that one!"

"Good grief…I’d not like to see any epitaph! I have no idea. I worry about a lot of things, but I’m not really worried about that yet. You’re really pushin’ me, aren’t you? (Laughter.) Shoot. (More laughter.) I’d feel sorry for the guy who wrote it."
— John Young, when asked about his epitaph by a BBC reporter, 1981.
