The Astronaut One, Ughhhh Brings Back Elementary-middle School Memories 😂

I think this is the highest-quality version of this photo I’ve seen. Found here, color correction done by me. Really stunning quality—the freckle’s on Ed’s hands and his red hair, Rog’s cowlick, Gus’ upside-down watch (as usual), the freckle on his cheek, and wow, he was going to be completely gray very soon, wasn’t he? Our beautiful boys.

“I think the public has accepted the possibility that there is a risk. We in the program accept this possibility also… It’s going to be exciting, this conquest of space, and full of a lot of wonderful things, things we haven’t even dreamed about yet.” Ed White

“If we die, do not mourn for us. This is a risky business we’re in, and we accept those risks. The space program is too valuable to this country to be halted for too long if a disaster should ever happen.” Gus Grissom

“I don’t like to say anything’s scary about it. There’s a lot of unknowns, of course, and a lot of problems that could develop, or might develop, and they’ll have to be solved, and that’s what we’re there for. This is our business, to find out if this thing will work for us… I definitely think you’re apprehensive and you’re considering what’s involved there, you’re thinking about it. But you know how to handle it and take care of it and do the job.” Roger Chaffee

I honestly cannot wait to work for the next 10/15 years and then just drop everything and move to a nice area with loads of land where I can get a job helping other people and every night I come home to my goats/cows/dogs/cats and I can hang around barefoot on my front porch and care for all my plants

🇱🇻 Happy Proclamation Day!

Apollo-Soyuz delegation in the USSR, early 1970s. Shortly afterwards, a snowball fight broke out between the Americans and the Soviets. The Soviets won.

Happy birthday to Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (March 9, 1934 – March 27, 1968), the first human in space, who would’ve turned 85 today!

“Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it!”

“My biggest plan, my greatest dream is to do it one more time… to go to space a few more times. I want to fly there, see more, go to other planets.”
