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.

astrohardware: John Young and Gus Grissom, post-flight. John’s got one heck of a thousand-yard stare going on. John is gonna barf on the first person who mentions sandwich meat.
lightthiscandle: John is judging Gus because he wore his spring medals with his winter jacket.
lightthiscandle: John was always creeped out when Gus made his fingers disappear. Grissom: John, look over here. I have some food for you.  Young: Okay, Gus. That’s mighty nice. AW SHUCKS, YOU DID THAT THANG AGIN’. THAT CREEPS MEH OUT. STAWP IT Grissom: Hahahaha, you country sumbitch. 
So we’re on hour 73 of the Gemini 3 post-flight couch sessions.  Gus: So Deke and I toiled-papered a colleague’s house. I can’t say who it is, except it rhymes with Mank Foreman. Okay, whatever. It’s totally Frank Borman. John: THIS IS MAH 70th CIGAR GUS AIGGGHHHHHH AH FEEL SICK
I love how this photoset begins all classed up, and they end up all rumpled like this
awwyeahjohnyoung: Gemini 3: Sponsored by Budweiser.
The best…
lightthiscandle: 3/21/65, Cape Kennedy: “Gemini Command Pilot Virgil I. Grissom laughs as his nose is tickled by doctor during an intensive pre-flight medical examination.” …Okay. Some of these Adorable Gus photos are ridiculous. Did people just randomly walk up to him and tickle him? FATHER OF ALL ADORABLE ASTRONAUTS
This St. Patrick’s Day, wear fuzzy velour shirts with your favorite space buddy…
lightthiscandle: bunnybundy: ‘What to Do and See in the Cape Kennedy Area, March 1965.’ From what I gather looking at the photo/banner combination on the cover, the crew of Gemini 3 is going to forget that silly 2-man orbit business and help you buy a home or rent an apartment in the greater Cocoa area. Nice of them. Gus and John: Your Hometown Realtors. Also: “Fuckin’ A, John, I feel sick. Like I’m gonna barf. Ugh. I bet I look as green as a grasshopper.” “Ah don’t feel good either, Gus.” Fuckin’ A, why do I have to show this duplex to these damn people? They can take this house and shove it sideways.
