heng44 | Gemini 8 astronauts Neil Armstrong (right) and Dave Scott relax as they are interviewed by reporters from LIFE magazine, about a week after their mission in March 1966. |
Joel Katzowitz | They sure do look relaxed. I wonder if that's a microphone sitting on the table (bottom right corner)? |
Michael Davis | I notice that Armstrong is still sitting in the left hand "Commander's seat" on the couch. Force of habit from hundreds of hours in the Gemini simulator, or a 50-50 chance? |
Headshot | Nice shot, I have never seen it before. That is definitely a reel-to-reel tape recorder microphone sitting on the coffee table. I cannot make out the manufacture, but it is obviously not Webcor or Ampex. I believe Armstrong is sitting "behind" Scott so Dave will answer most of the questions. The Life team is obviously off-camera to the left. Wordy responses were not Neil's forte ... unless he had a point to make. |
Ronpur | Wow, they look so young!! |
mikepf | I'll take advantage of this being the last day of the year to thank you for posting all the great pictures during 2015! I look forward to seeing what gems you will dig up for 2016. Best wishes to you for a great new year. |

I'm going to guess Wollensak. |
Headshot | Great guess! I Googled images of Wollensak tape recorders and one of the pictures showed the tape machine along with a microphone that looks identical to the one in Ed's image. |
Philip | Which make watch is Scott wearing? |

Thanks! Best wishes to you and all collectSPACE members and I'll try to find more gems in my archives. |
robsouth | Gemini 8 So Dave's saying, "Neil! I can't go EVA! Look my suit trousers don't reach down to my boots. What are we going to do?" And Neil replies, "Leave it with me, I'll think of a way to go back down early." |
