Last week SPACE PROGRAM: MARS welcomed a very special visitor, Mae Jemison (retired NASA astronaut), who has distinction of being the first black woman to travel in space. (Above image: Artist Tom Sachs and astronaut Mae Jemison speak on the “Visitation Phone” of Sachs’ Mobile Quarentine Facility. Below, Mae Jemison in space in 1992.) 

I can’t wait to go to this show.

So some wire reporter created a montage of Charlie Duke falling down on the moon. This seems slightly rude.

From Retro Space Images/NASA, it looks like Ed was put in time out.

McDivitt: Ed, will you stop trolling me over my eye patch already?

White: Um…nope.

McDivitt: Okay. You get five more minutes to think about that. Remember, I am the command pilot.

White: Ed White don’t care.

McDivitt: Fine. No snack breaks today.

White: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

These are two drawings of Charlie Duke on the moon, and they were created by his sons. According to the caption, “the boys drew the pictures exclusively for the Associated Press.”

The X-24A is white in this photo because it is covered with a simulated ablative coating, which was being investigated as a possible method of protecting vehicles from the heat of high-speed flight
