Walter Schirra died on Thursday from a heart attack at his home in California. Schirra was an amazing astronaut and big practical joker. He was best known as Wally, though he never set foot on the moon his flights were vital to the US eventually reaching the moon. President Bush said "his ventures into space.... helped pave the way for mankind's first journey to the moon."
