LEGAL NOTE: Generally ALL of the photos on this site are by NASA and/or NASA photographers save for photos taken by myself (which would be annotated as having been taken by me, Emily C.). I take no picture credit for any photos having been taken by NASA and NASA photographers, for obvious reasons. Thank you.

lightthiscandle: 3/29/65: “Almost An Accolade For Grissom: No, though it may look like it, New York’s Mayor Robert Wagner is not bestowing the French accolade, a kiss on either cheek, on Virgil (Gus) Grissom. He is having a little difficulty making both ends meet with the ribbon of the City’s highest honor, the Gold Medal, he presents to the astronaut at this evening’s reception at the Waldorf-Astoria. Awaiting his turn is astronaut John W. Young, left.” Also, I love Young’s expression. “Heh heh! A French accolade!” Voulez-vous coucher avec John ce soir?  Meanwhile, Gus is like “KILL IT WITH FIRE”
