It’s not their birthday but instead a cake in the honour of the successful Apollo 9 mission. Rusty Schweickart, David Scott & Jim McDivitt get ready to cut a piece aboard the USS Guadalcanal, March 1968. The trio had just completed their 10-day mission & were retrieved by the Navy ship after splashdown. McDivitt was chosen in the 2nd Group of astronauts in 1962; he had previously flown on Gemini 4. Scott & Schweickart were chosen a year later in Group 3. David flew on Gemini 8 while it was Rusty’s first and only spaceflight. Backup for the mission were Pete Conrad, Richard Gordon & Alan Bean who conducted the 2nd moon landing on Apollo 12.
