A Day at the Zoo, or, astronauts during jungle survival training in Panama, 1963. I love how serious and focused everyone in the second photo looks, except for Pete who is on the ground petting the peccary. Classic Pete.

December 1966 - January 1967  NASA astronaut Edward White LtColonel Ed White and his wife Pat after a relaxing Christmas holiday as the astronaut would start preparations for the first mission of NASA’s manned Apollo Moon program. The couple spent Christmas time and New Year at their home near Houston - Texas. However, on January 27, 1967 a cabin fire destroyed the Apollo 1 Command Module during a launch rehearsal test killing the three astronauts; Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee. Photo shows Ed White wearing a NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster 105.003 chronograph on a steel mesh JB champion bracelet… note that the chronograph hand was running ! (Photo: NASA/WBESS)
