I was hoping you would post a Gene Cernan photo this week and have never seen this one before in Gemini 9, fantastic!

Superb photo, during the longer duration Gemini flights, that cockpit must have been a cluttered area? Gemini spacecraft was essentially an enlarged version of the Mercury capsule after all...

Great photo Ed.

Third time recently you have made a tribute to a recently departed astronaut. Worryingly happening too often but a very respectful thing to do.

A true legend.

Sometimes inevitable, but I hope this will be the last time for at least a year...

The photo was taken about an hour and a half after EVA ingress.
