 Three days before launch, Apollo-9 command module pilot Dave Scott gets a haircut from KSC barber Matt Jude. Mission commander Jim McDivitt can be seen undergoing the same treatment in the mirror behind Scott. McDivitt, Scott and lunar module pilot Rusty Schweickart were launched on 3 March 1969 for a 10-day shakedown flight of the LM. Ed Hengeveld |

Ed, can you tell from your available info if that was three days before their actual launch (on 3 Mar. 1969), or three days before their intended launch (on 28 Feb. 1969)? It seems like a trivial point, but I am curious. ------------------

John, according to the caption on the print it was taken on February 28, 1969, which was the intended launch date, but as it turned out it was three days before the actual launch.Ed | |
