 A very special photo: astronauts Williams, Bassett and See in Mission Control in December 1965 during the Gemini-6/7 space rendezvous. Bassett and See were killed two months after this photo was taken and Williams crashed in October 1967... Who knows what missions they might have flown if things had been different. Ed Hengeveld |

Hi Tim,May I impose and ask for a scanned copy as well? I used Ed's photo in my "Fallen Astronauts" book and didn't know there was a possible alternative photo taken around the same time. Many thanks, Colin [This message has been edited by ColinBurgess (edited June 18, 2005).] |

Hi Guys-The picture should be in your email box now. On the back is a hand written notation that informs us the photo was taken on December 4th, 1965 in the MCC. Tim |
