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.

This was supposed to be a special birthday post but then I decided against it so here’s a random gif set of Neil for your viewing pleasure ✨
White: Oh hey, lady, it’s me, Ed. I think you’re doing a wonderful job. (Does puppy eyes)
Woman #1: Oh, thank you, Lieutenant Colonel White! Where’s your little southern friend, by the way? He’s cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute.
White: Um, excuse me?
Young: (Peeps around corner) Heh heh heh!
White: WHAT IS THIS???? I HATE YOU, JOHN
Space cowboy. Gemini 4 astronaut Ed White dons the hat as Commander Jim McDivitt looks as do G4 backup crew Frank Borman & Jim Lovell. It was the first spaceflight for all involved. Ed White wanted to stay out longer than the 20 minutes he spent on his historic 1965 spacewalk & used the opportunity of taking photos as an excuse to do so. However, McDivitt reminded him of time constraints & White returned. He called it, ‘the saddest moment of my life’ as he re-entered the Gemini capsule. He became the first American to perform an EVA (spacewalk) on the mission.
