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.

astroziggy: I had a meeting with a professor today, and guess what book she had on her desk? HAPPY VETERANS DAY! Aw shucks, ah I am veteran. Happy day to meh. Ah wish Gus was still around for me to wish him a good day, too. 
Happy Veterans’ Day to all who served! :) Getting my free meals today…hell yeah, why not? Here’s Navy vet John W. Young in his finest commander’s dress blues. 
Hey guys. It’s STS-135 hanging out with none other than STS-1. Your computer is not worthy of such greatness. 
complex34: “And every time I look at the moon I just wonder why we don’t have a base up there that’s permanently involved in exploring and industrializing that place because it really is the key to our future.” More distinguished older John AIGGGHHH
complex34: “Charlie fell down a couple of times…” AIGGGH CUTE OLDER GENTLEMAN JOHN Sorry, I had a cute attack there…
lightthiscandle: I can see you, Gus. Gus is about to scare the crap out of John Glenn. “BOOOO!”
1963. Wow. This photoset is amazing.
Not sure what’s going on here with his teeth but John Young attempts to laugh in the early 1960s. He reminds me of my uncle who was a cop. The old guy would somehow manage to laugh without smiling. I saw him a dozen years back and told him a joke. “Oh hehehehehe that was so funny. Hahaha.” No smile. DID YOU KNOW: John Young has a parkway in Florida named after him? He was raised in Orlando which gives me a big sense of “Florida pride” (I was born in Clearwater and raised in FL).
INVISIBLE EYE CONTACT This picture gives me the lolz for no reason. The staring off in the distance and the vaguely weird John Young facial expression is what does it I think.
