Two Gemini. Two Apollo. The first rendezvous in space. The first around the Moon. Commander of Apollo 13. Jim Lovell passed away yesterday at the age of 97. His legacy will forever live on in humanity's return to the Moon.

Rest in peace, Commander Lovell.

For some reason, the Gemini astronauts doing Parachute Training is one of the funniest sets of images I've seen in a very long time

Our first sunrise in space began as a tiny wedge that kept expanding, until we had the illusion that we were looking into a huge cave with red mouth, yellow roof, and blue outer rim. It was a light blue at first, then the cave seemed to explode in slow motion into a kaleidoscope of colors. The blue became a deeper shade, blending with bands of reddish orange and a mustard-yellow. For more than five minutes. Lovell and I watched the phenomenon, groping in vain to describe the awe we felt. –Frank Borman, discussing the first of many sunrises during the Gemini 7 mission
