My Boyfriend And I Were Joking That This Looks Like Something Out Of A Highlights Magazine; Anyways,

I think this is the highest-quality version of this photo I’ve seen. Found here, color correction done by me. Really stunning quality—the freckle’s on Ed’s hands and his red hair, Rog’s cowlick, Gus’ upside-down watch (as usual), the freckle on his cheek, and wow, he was going to be completely gray very soon, wasn’t he? Our beautiful boys.

“I think the public has accepted the possibility that there is a risk. We in the program accept this possibility also… It’s going to be exciting, this conquest of space, and full of a lot of wonderful things, things we haven’t even dreamed about yet.” Ed White

“If we die, do not mourn for us. This is a risky business we’re in, and we accept those risks. The space program is too valuable to this country to be halted for too long if a disaster should ever happen.” Gus Grissom

“I don’t like to say anything’s scary about it. There’s a lot of unknowns, of course, and a lot of problems that could develop, or might develop, and they’ll have to be solved, and that’s what we’re there for. This is our business, to find out if this thing will work for us… I definitely think you’re apprehensive and you’re considering what’s involved there, you’re thinking about it. But you know how to handle it and take care of it and do the job.” Roger Chaffee

Tbh, even if they aren’t as well-known as the Three Greats (Gagarin, Tereshkova and Leonov), the other Soviet cosmonauts were pretty cute too. Like, Yegorov, Bykovsky, Belyayev, heck, even Titov were all just so huggable-looking! And that’s just from the first original group.
