NUEVA YORK, 26 mayo (Reuters) - El astronauta estadounidense Alan Bean, la cuarta persona que caminó sobre la luna en 1969 durante la misión Apollo 12, murió en Houston el sábado, dijeron funcionarios federales.

Bean, quien también comandó un equipo en la estación espacial Skylab en 1973, tenía 86 años.

"Alan Bean dijo una vez 'tengo la mejor vida del mundo'", dijo Jim Bridenstine de la Administración Nacional de Aeronáutica y el Espacio (NASA) en un comunicado.

"Es un sentimiento reconfortante para recordar mientras lamentamos su muerte".
