”I told you were were gonna land long!” The original backup crew for Apollo-1, astronauts McDivitt, Scott and Schweickart, practice water egress procedures with a full-scale boilerplate spacecraft in a pool at Ellington Air Force Base near the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston in 1966. The signs in the background indicate the “ladies” and “men” dressing rooms! Ed Hengeveld |

Hi Ed. I have an original copy of that photo! Too bad McDivitt quit signing through the mail!! That one just begs for the crew signatures.Good caption by the way. [This message has been edited by dtemple (edited December 05, 2005).] |
