Astronauts undergo life support training, 1968. I see Dave Scott, Neil Armstrong, Alan Shepard, and Jim Lovell in the front row. There’s Gordo Cooper behind Scott, wearing a life preserver. And Jack Schmitt is standing in the background.

[asonlynasacan-deactivated201412]

Holy shit. Hey there, um, Dave.

Big Al is not impressed. “Pretty boy, put your damn clothes back on. Nobody cares.” Lovell is just being Lovell and is probably thinking about snuggling with kittens.

I've been looking through the LIFE Image archives for pictures of the early astronauts, and. Um. I have so many questions.

Where did Gus get a squirrel?? HOW did Gus get a squirrel??? Why is Deke so calm about it?? How many times has this happened???

[apollomission8]

GUYS I FOUND ANOTHER PICTURE

It turns out it's not a squirrel, but a Very Tiny rabbit, (probably a baby, which would explain how he was able to pick it up without it running away). However, what this does not explain, is Why Gus gave Deke a Random Baby Rabbit he found in a field while they were supposed to be doing parachute training - or why know one else questioned it

[thundergrace]

The only way to talk to these people.

[spacemonkiesmafia]

Everyone say hello to Deke, a tree frog I found while walking back to my dorm one night

(yes, he is named after deke slayton. what about it?)
