  • Epilogue: Final Salute to a Hero
    Epilogue: Final salute to a hero Prior to leaving NASA, Wally Schirra narrated a 12-inch album about the Apollo 11 mis- sion called Flight to the Moon , which was released after his retirement. The fi rst side was called Moments in Space History and detailed all of NASA’s manned space missions up to the fi rst lunar landing, while the reverse side had as its title The Actual Voyage of Apollo 11 . “That’s what gave me enough money after taxes to buy that Maserati downstairs,” he told one reporter with a chuckle in his voice. In 1967, he was offered a position as a director with Imperial American (Oil and Gas) by oil tycoon John M. King , who owned more airplanes than most small airplane compa- nies. A fl amboyant Colorado millionaire entrepreneur, King was a large man given to wearing cowboy hats and boots, who was once described as having built his empire on the sound American business principle of tax avoidance through oil leasing and other per- fectly legal means. “I gave King a ride once in a T-38,” Schirra recalled with a smile. “Not legal, of course, but this sort of thing is now past the statute of limitations. We buzzed King’s ranch in Colorado, and blew the windows out!” Although Schirra worked for King in Colorado, he did not fl y any of the airplanes in the fl eet. “At fi rst I tried to fl y,” he said. “King had enough airplanes to keep me busy – a Jetstar, Electra, Lears, twin Navions with rocket assist – but fl ying and talking to clients didn’t mix.
