“In August 1964, Robert F. Kennedy took the podium at the Democratic Convention in Atlantic City. Immediately, a roar of applause took the whole hall. The crowd wouldn't let him speak, they wouldn’t let go of him. He was the representation of what they had lost. If the delegates had a sense of loss, imagine what his feelings were. Every day, every hour, every minute, he felt the loss of his brother. The pandemonium went on for twenty-two long minutes. As the crowd finally grew quiet, he bared his grief, enshrining his brother in words from Romeo and Juliet. When he was finished speaking, he left the hall, sat on the fire escape, and wept.” • RFK: An American Experience
I always look like the second photo of Frank...

I'm dyyyyyying
John Young on his love life.
Introducing the New Nine, LIFE Magazine, September 28, 1962.
My favorite things about this photo, in no particular order:
Ed White’s expression
Jim and Frank. Just in general. But also that weird bald patch on Frank’s head.
HOLY SHIT LOOK AT PETE. PETE, I LOVE YOUR FACE.
The little blurbs about them on the side are totally distressing: why are they giving out these poor fellas’ heights and weights?
On that same note, why is John so goddamn heavy? He’s the wiriest of the lot of them! My money is on that ridiculously broad upper body. And by “my money is on his upper body,” I mean “I wish my hands were on his upper body.”
I totally did not just say that.
Why was this photo taken from up in a tree? I think Ralph Morse had some serious problems with being on the ground. He’s always photographing things from really curious angles.
Charming Frank! (:

So. I think it's important to do this.
I want to support everyone in the space community during this difficult time. Mike was and still is the best of the best. I already miss him and now, looking at the Moon... I will wink at him, I promise.
His life was incredibly bright, that's why we will never forget him. Just remember the words from the song Stardust.
High up in the sky the little stars climb,
Always reminding me that we're apart.
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die.
I love each of you and hug tightly, as tightly as if I had the opportunity to hug Mike...
If anyone has this photo in better quality, I would be grateful if you could share it with me, because
awwwwww John is so cute
