*Tom Stafford in here*
And finally my love, smiley John Watts Young
When you see it
A 1963 cartoon poking fun at astronaut Ed White’s enormous appetite; and a portrait of the artist, fellow astronaut John Young, in the process of drawing it.
you had me at the first line
Not in the best condition, but having some memorabilia is awesome. Hopefully one day I’ll be reading “Man Walks On Mars” as SpaceX progresses through the next decade.
My recent drawings <3
I just can't get Neil out of my head but I don't mind anyway (*´ω`*)

Deke Slayton and Tom Stafford, two of the American Apollo-Soyuz crew, fishing with Vladimir Shatalov in Novosibirsk. They also met a dog. (Too bad they’re small photos)

FINALLY found an HQ version of this photo, I’ve been searching for ages! All of the Mercury and New Nine astronauts (with instructors) at survival training in Panama, June 1963.
Standing, from left to right: Wally Schirra, Neil Armstrong, Gordo Cooper, Deke Slayton, Tom Stafford, Jim Lovell, John Young, John Glenn (mostly hidden behind Pete), Pete Conrad, Ed White, Gus Grissom, Alan Shepard, Scott Carpenter, Jim McDivitt, Frank Borman, and Elliot See.
I love love love this photo! Must’ve been on the last day of training–everyone looks adequately filthy (except Ed, who, as usual, looks like a model). Even Frank is smiling! And Gus… well, Gus is being his typical mischievous self ;)
