Gus Gradually Violates John’s Personal Space: A Photographic Essay

Commander John Young after STS-1, the first orbital flight of NASA’s Space Shuttle program aboard the shuttle Columbia, April 1981

The crew of Apollo 11 eat breakfast before their trip to the moon July 16, 1969

Ed White, jogging.

Astronaut Group 2 goes for a swim, 1963. From the bottom: Frank Borman, Ed White, Tom Stafford, Pete Conrad, John Young (I think).

I stand corrected regarding Young’s attire: he’s at least 93% covered only 99% of the time. What’s his deal with the nevernude business, anyway? All the other astronauts run around half-dressed like little kids at bathtime.
