heng44 | Happy birthday Jim! The Gemini-7 prime and backup crews pose for a gag-portrait in July 1965. Left to right are Ed White, backup command pilot; Frank Borman, prime command pilot; Jim Lovell, prime pilot; and Mike Collins, backup pilot. Ed Hengeveld |
Tom | Thanks Ed...great to see our astronauts have a sense of humor! |
mjanovec | I've never seen that one before...great image. Borman looks hilarious. Ed White's hat looks like the same "hat" that Neil Armstrong wore in the Gemini 8 gag photo. I wonder if they took these photos at the same time. |
heng44 | The Gemini-8 gag-photos were taken in November 1965. Ed |
lunarrv15 | think Neil's lamp wasn't the funnel shape. It was a wider round kind sorta...think...um never seen this gag photo. how similar the gag Lovell is posing in uniform and wore a same for the Apollo 13 movie |
lunarrv15 | ...caught myself wearing the military hat |
FFrench | My wife's suggested caption: "The Four Stooges" ! |
mdmyer | I almost expect to hear the Village People's Y-M-C-A coming through the speakers. Mike |
Moonwalker1954 | Wasn't Borman playing in "Men in black"?! |
Rob Joyner | ...or maybe the third Blues Brother?! |
lunarrv15 | what's the item on the table? |
katabatic | It looks like a "snoot"--a metal sleeve that goes over a photo light to concentrate the beam into a spot. |
