Walter Cunningham

Walter Cunningham (b. 1932 - d. Jan. 3, 2023), was the second civilian Astronaut of the United States, who orbited the Earth 163 times in 1968 as the pilot of Apollo 7. That was the first manned flight that landed a man on the Moon.

A physicist holding advanced degrees, and an entrepreneur, he became an outspoken critic of the Leftist climate change alarmism. He was a member of the CO2 Coalition that opposes

CO2 Coalition Chairman Will Happer praised Walter Cunningham upon news that he passed away: "He steadfastly rejected the climate alarmism that has become so fashionable in elite society. He knew it was scientific nonsense and that many policy responses to this nonexistent threat would do great harm. He has left 'footprints on the sands of time.'"
