Stepping out on the front porch. Astronaut David Scott opens the hatch to check out the view during Apollo 9, March 1969. In this pic taken by fellow astronaut Rusty Schweickart, ‘Gumdrop’, the Command Service Module is docked with ‘Spider’, the Lunar Module. A9 was the 1st flight incorporating all Apollo spacecraft components. The 10 day mission was the 2nd launched by a Saturn V rocket.

Unfortunately, Mr. Crown, Mr. Baza, and Ms. Popoff have been digitized into the system without the correction algorithms.
The algorithms were extracted from Ma3a the moment we digitized the team in. I'm afraid there is nothing I can do to save them. If I were to bring them back now, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't return ... well, as they were.

Shiny Thire: Commander, can the Chancellor sign this bill.
Fox, shaking his head: Listen shiny, you'll have to learn to forge that musty meat bag's signature. If you sign it from the start, you'll be able to sign whatever you want, and those bureaucrats we'll never know. Too busy kissing ass to give a flying kriff.
Shiny Thire pulls out a pen: Like so?
Fox: You'll make a fine guard on this polished turd

"Homage To The Third Man" by Mark Karvon: link
"Every Apollo mission consisted of a three man crew; the command module pilot, the lunar module pilot and the commander. For those missions when the lunar module separated from the command module, the command module pilot stayed behind to man the command module alone. For the lunar landing missions the two men who landed got most of the attention but the command module pilot was necessary to keep watch and pilot the ship as well as perform important scientific work and observations from orbit. This print depicts the Apollo 17 Command Module "America" in lunar orbit but it is an homage to all the third men of the Apollo crews who stayed alone in the craft. They are David Scott (Apollo 9), John Young (Apollo 10), Michael Collins (Apollo 11), Dick Gordon (Apollo 12), Stuart Roosa (Apollo 14), Al Worden (Apollo 15), Ken Mattingly (Apollo 16) and Ron Evans (Apollo 17)."

I worked and lived in and around Washington DC from 1983-1994. I never dreamed when I decided to return to England that 28 years would pass before I returned, but time has a tendency of slipping away.
