Caspar Weinberger

Caspar Weinberger was 59 years, 34 weeks, 1 day, old on 4/14/77 when I think I returned to Earth from my mission to intercept the comet in the outer solar system.

Caspar Willard "Cap" Weinberger, GBE (August 18, 1917 – March 28, 2006), was an American politician and Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan from January 21, 1981, until November 23, 1987, making him the third longest-serving defense secretary to date, after Robert McNamara and Donald Rumsfeld. He is also known for his related roles in the Strategic Defense Initiative program (popularly known as Star Wars), the Iran-Contra Affair, and also as Chairman of Forbes Magazine.
