Stafford and Cernan had witnessed the launch of Surveyor 1 on May 30. Gemini 9 was launched June 3.

Good to know both were still great friends fifty years later when Gene Cernan wasn't well enough to come to Pontefract for his events but at the last moment arranged for Tom Stafford to step in for him. What wonderful careers they both had.
