February 8, 1974. None of the 3 television networks at that time carried the splashdown live. I saw a blurb on the evening news that did include shots of the crew on the carrier. I really liked the Pogue and Carr beards.Great shot Ed. Rest in Peace Col. Pogue. |

Great picture. Sad that the mainstream media made almost no mention of his passing... |

Looking at a picture like this makes me wonder; this vehicle just landed so couldn't there be toxic fumes still around the vehicle? |

Great choice. Bill Pogue was the best autograph signer and person I have ever interacted with in the astronaut corp. He will be missed. |
