Wally Schirra: 'I'm opening the visor just for a moment to scratch my nose.'

Despite what Amazon now says, unless they're including a free plastic space bunny for Easter gifting, I'm afraid Apollo Remastered does not come with a toy inside!
Nor is adult supervision required, but it would really hurt if a child were to drop the 3.5kg lump on their foot.

Happy 96th Birthday to Jim Lovell!

Neutral buoyancy training then and now
Buzz Aldrin was the first to be trained this way in 1966 for Gemini XII. Back then a rental agreement was made for the part-time use of a school swimming pool (left 📷Sam Mattingly). A far cry from today's facilities at NASA Houston (right)

#OTD 1969, Rusty Schweickart captured this shot of Jim McDivitt on Apollo 9.
Jim loved being on the cover of the book, as did the photographer, Rusty: 'The first time I saw it I was just blown away, it's just magical. Through Andy’s techniques, everyone can now see what we saw.'
