Shane MacGowan, and the various other people called Shane MacGowan but with a different way of spelling it, has been an extremely popular pick in all the years I've done this. 

Shane McGoweran AND Christie Dignam in one year....

Frank Borman: Nasa astronaut who led Apollo 8 moon mission dies https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-67379259

Now followed by Ken Mattingly of Apollo 13 & 16 fame.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/nov/16/ken-mattingly-obituary

"Mattingly lost his place as command module pilot on Apollo 13 because he had been exposed to rubella. As a consequence he had to settle for a role within the Houston ground control team, where he helped to power up the stricken Apollo 13 spacecraft after it had broken down.

His work in rescuing the mission was vital. During a two-hour conversation with his replacement, Jack Swigert, who was on board the crippled spacecraft, Mattingly, as Andrew Chaikin detailed in his book A Man on the Moon (1994), “read out every switch setting, every keystroke of the computer, the steps that would bring Odyssey (the command module of Apollo 13) back to life and ready for re-entry”.
