Neil Armstrong Back In The Module Just After The Moon Landing. 1969

Jim McDivitt, Ed White, and Neil Armstrong link arms & test eating in zero gravity while aboard the Vomit Comet (unspecified date)

Forever Ed White. I believe this was from the year he was selected by NASA - 1962. He was 31.

Today, I rode my bike to the Ed White Memorial hospital in St Petersburg, Florida. Established in the late 1970’s by his family members and community support, the lobby displays some information on his life in space, most notably, and logically, his Gemini 4 flight. Also on display is one of his training jumpsuits for the Apollo 1 mission. For those wondering why St Pete has this, it’s because his family relocated here after Ed left home. His brother was rather acquainted with the area though. Soon, Emily and I are going to go back here, as well as check out their former home. In a non-creepy way.

Everyone feels pity for Gus in those sunglasses so they listen to his stories and laugh at his jokes, 1961

*Tom Stafford in here*

And finally my love, smiley John Watts Young

John and company during post-flight parades (Gemini 3, Apollo 10, & STS-1)

Doesn’t seem too impressed in the second one…….

Me imagine a young Neil at Purdue with his baritone horn

Happy Birthday to Neil Armstrong on what would have been his 90th birthday.

“All his life, in whatever he did, Neil personified the essential qualities and core values of a superlative human being: commitment, dedication, dependability, a thirst for knowledge, self-confidence, toughness, decisiveness, honesty, innovation, loyalty, positive attitude, self-respect, respect for others, integrity, self-reliance, prudence, judiciousness, and much more. No member of the human race stepping out onto another heavenly body could possibly have represented the best of humanity more than Neil Armstrong did.” - James Hansen in First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong
