James Webb - known as the Fastest Mouth in the West!
James Webb (left) was the 2nd NASA Administrator, and the last day of his term was #today in 1968! It's also his birthday! Here he is with Abe Silverstein, at the time, the director of the Lewis Research Center! The James Webb Space Telescope (@NASAWebb) is named after Mr. Webb!
I was there😁🚀🌒
