Frank during a Goodwill trip in Belgium Feb ‘69, orbiting the moon.

Funny to think that at the time the photo was taken, he was only one of three people in the history of the earth to have experienced that for real.

Excellent photo!

For some reason, when I read the caption “Goodwill trip,” I immediately pictured Borman going thrift store shopping and looking for jeans.

Every Goodwill trip is Pete’s idea. Every weekend he’s like, “Come on guys, I wanna go try on hats.”

Oh wow, I love this so much!

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but this is a 1966 concept drawing of Skylab sent to Huntsville’s Marshall Space Flight Center, and it was drawn by Dr. J (?) and George Mueller.

The Earliest Days of NASA

Maria Popova, at Brain Pickings, happened upon a treasure trove of early NASA (and its airplane-only predecessor NACA) archive photos. They are really something. From biplanes to the Mercury capsule, pre-1950 aeronautics seemed to live by the motto of “If we build it, then we can go there.” That’s a sentiment we could use a bit more of.

More here.

Yes please!
