Jon torturing Lando once again 🙊

Oh and also I am going to unfollow a few people who post more non-spacs things than space things cause that's not what I like to see but I will check for space regularly and keep in touch 😉😉 if that's alright

The right stuff. President JFK with the Original Mercury 7, Oct 1963. These Group 1 astronauts were chosen by NASA in 1959. In the front we have Gus Grissom & Gordon Cooper while in the back there is Wally Schirra, Scott Carpenter, John Glenn (the first American to orbit Earth), Deke Slayton & the first American in space, Alan Shepard. There were 6 crewed flights in Project Mercury; Slayton went on to fly on the Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975. Shepard became the lone member of the group to walk on the moon during Apollo 14 in 1971. Space pioneers.

A 1963 cartoon poking fun at astronaut Ed White’s enormous appetite; and a portrait of the artist, fellow astronaut John Young, in the process of drawing it.

Gemini 4 wives Pat White and Pat McDivitt during their husbands’ mission, June 1965.

Ed White, jogging.

I’ve posted this picture before, but I really love this photo of the Deke Slayton and the New Nine laughing during the Nine’s introductory press conference. Only Ed White can keep a poker face.

From Retro Space Images/NASA…the men of Gemini 4, for Ed White Monday!

my favoritest boy in the whole entire world

“He might as well have been the brother I never had, a man of gentle strength and quiet humor. There was something very special about him. He really was the astronaut’s astronaut, a handsome and powerfully built man who actually seemed indestructible.” -Frank Borman on Ed White
