Gemini 9 pilot Gene Cernan reads the morning newspaper during suiting up operations on May 17, 1966. The launch attempt this day was terminated at 10:26 a.m. due to a failure of the Agena target vehicle to reach orbit.

Let's see, morning paper, then suit up, ride a Titan rocket into space, rendezvous with an Agena rocket, walk in space. Yep, looks like a busy day. Glad I ate a good breakfast.

The awesome career of Gene Cernan nonwithstanding, I can't help but imagine Charlie Bassett in that picture.

Thanks Ed, not as spooky as my sis-in-law, but awesome pic. And I failed to see "Thing's hand" in the first pic.
