Chosen in 1965 among NASA’s first six scientist-astronauts, Curt Michel died on Feb. 23 at the age of 80. An astrophysicist, Michel resigned from the program before he was assigned to a space mission when it became clear he would not be flying to the moon. Instead, Michel returned to his studies in solar wind, radio pulsars and numerical methods at Rice University.
