 During the shooting of the official Gemini 6 crew portrait, command pilot Wally Schirra seems to be saying to his pilot Tom Stafford that they should wrap up this PR business, “because we have a rocket to catch”. Thanks to J.L. Pickering for the photo. Ed Hengeveld |

Tom says..."Great watch, Wally. Now all you have to do is figure out how you're going to see it through your glove." |

Or Wally could be saying: "Forty years from now some space collector nut will probably pay a fortune for this watch".
