Oh there is a story about this photo, Deke Slayton didn't tell anyone that he could swim. So went to the bottom of pool only to be rescued by Gus and Wally. @gusgrissom

Chapter 2 of my Thunderbirds meeting their real name counterparts of the Mercury 7 Astronauts.

Yeah I wish Gus was alive for his mates. Man Gordo aged badly.

I started to laugh at this one. But these guys flew jets and went into space when our space program blew up rockets quite often. So gentlemen, you can wear whatever you wish. But I wonder, did John and Wally combine their suits? Wish Gus were there

Still cannot believe that Betty got treated so badly after Apollo 1 because she wanted someone responsible. Good on her.

A signed photo of the Mercury Seven astronauts (with Betty Grissom filling in for Gus) at their 25th anniversary reunion in 1984.

NASA: these guys totally seem mature!

Astronauts: Maturity? What’s that? 😂

Hey its ok, I finally got back into space since this is what started me on the path way back in 1999 with the Apollo 13 movie.
