Great photo, but also sad to see that the only one who is still with us is Bill Anders. |

Great picture! Particularly poignant to see Jack Swigert only 12 months before he passed away. |

Interesting to see the front row astronauts wearing their 1969 Gold "Apollo 11 tribute" Omega Speedmaster chronograph. |

Great picture - thank you!They all had let their hair down (longer) to varying degrees by that time but the only one I had trouble recognizing was Donn Eisele. |
