Todd Halvorson, a fantastic space journalist who spend 27 years covering NASA and the space program for Florida Today has died at 68 after complications from a fall last week according to fellow former space reporter Jim Banke.
He did such a beautiful job covering space in-depth, and breaking many stories during the space shuttle era.
Sally Ride, America's first female astronaut in space trusted Todd enough to be his secret source and tell him an accident board found if the damage on Space Shuttle Columbia had been known about early enough, it might have been possible to save the 7 astronauts who died on its last mission.

NASA honored him in the same place at Kennedy Space Center that Walter Cronkite is honored, on the wall of the press site listed under “The Chroniclers" https://www.nasa.gov/people/todd-halvorson/

I assumed he’d be around forever. And I loved how he had many traditions. My favorite was he’d come into the KSC Press Site building and say to public affairs “Would you say this is a great day for America?” In other words he’s jokingly asking them to give him that quote. Great man who will be sorely missed as both a journalist and person.
