Gemini-5 astronauts Gordon Cooper (right) and Charles Conrad are greeted by Florida Governor Hayden Burns upon arriving back at Cape Kennedy on August 30, 1965, following their record-breaking eight-day spaceflight.

Ed, I wonder if a photo exists of someone standing next to Pete Conrad and not looking like they were having a good time.

I see Gordo is legally wearing his photo ID badge....as if he couldn't be recognized with out it.

I believe, given its angle and relative size, that the badge is actually on the person standing to Gordo's left (you can see his nose sticking out in the upper right of the picture).

Here's one guy who doesn't look so thrilled to be next to Pete.
