Walter Cronkite, now RIP

News anchor and so-called "Most Trusted Man in America," Walter Cronkite, has passed away today at the age of 92.

I can't say I've ever actually seen him presenting the news, as he stopped hosting the CBS evening news in 1982, six years before I was born, but his enthusiasm for the space program was awesome. It's pretty much adorable.

Here's the New York Times article about him.

And that's the way it is...
