"UF Universe Trivia"
|
In his long and active career in various branches of aero- and astronautics, Gryphon has piled up a fair number of records. One of the earliest and least-known ones, and one in which he takes a certain... let's say modulated pride, is this: On February 8, 1995, during Operation UNFINISHED BUSINESS, he became the first person to wreck a car on Earth's Moon. He and his passenger, Colonel Leroy G. Cooper Jr., USAF (ret.), were unharmed, but the LRV was a writeoff, which is why they didn't use one for the remainder of the Unfinished Business missions. --G. -><- Benjamin D.
