I was hoping you would post a Gene Cernan photo this week and have never seen this one before in Gemini 9, fantastic! |

Superb photo, during the longer duration Gemini flights, that cockpit must have been a cluttered area? Gemini spacecraft was essentially an enlarged version of the Mercury capsule after all... |

Great photo Ed. Third time recently you have made a tribute to a recently departed astronaut. Worryingly happening too often but a very respectful thing to do. A true legend. |

Sometimes inevitable, but I hope this will be the last time for at least a year... |

Ed, this picture particularly sends me back in time - will miss Gene. |

The photo was taken about an hour and a half after EVA ingress.
