Though "Beam" might be a cool name for an astronaut, it was "Bean," as you have in the message body.

RIP, Sir!

I just read that the youngest living person who walked on the Moon is now 82 years old. --Bob

We are now down to five left of the twelve moonwalkers: Buzz Aldrin, Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, David Scott, John Young, and Charles Duke.

Sorry to break this to you, Spiff, but John Young, a fellow Orlando native and Georgia Tech grad, died earlier this year.
