Reminders

Happy Birthday to Neil Armstrong on what would have been his 90th birthday.

“All his life, in whatever he did, Neil personified the essential qualities and core values of a superlative human being: commitment, dedication, dependability, a thirst for knowledge, self-confidence, toughness, decisiveness, honesty, innovation, loyalty, positive attitude, self-respect, respect for others, integrity, self-reliance, prudence, judiciousness, and much more. No member of the human race stepping out onto another heavenly body could possibly have represented the best of humanity more than Neil Armstrong did.” - James Hansen in First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong

The New Nine, together again.

“Garbed as vaudevillians, Grissom and Shepard engage in a bit of horseplay during the early days of the Mercury program. When Grissom gave the photos to [NASA artist] Cece Bibby, she asked him what they were up to. He just said, ‘Fun and games, baby, fun and games.’”

–Ray E. Boomhower, Gus Grissom: The Lost Astronaut

“Astronaut Edward White studies moments of inertia on a reference model at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas.”

Happy 52nd anniversary to Frank and Jim- the greatest space duo of all time
