He is from my town, but I don't know him. Too bad it did not turn out better for him.

Ulysses is still transmitting here.

If NASA has named a spacecraft after Jonathan, I'm sure he'd have paid attention, too!
Actually, I see this wasn't a NASA craft. It was built by the European Space Agency.

Probably a good thing because this probe didn't get the attention that others have received.

He'll have regrets. We all do - perhaps except those who won the $1M. As for me I would have been torn between black and violet. If I had a JTQ lifeline, I'd use it here.
