The Longest Dual Flight Yet

[weirdjim]

Lest we forget ...

45 years ago this Sunday afternoon, the second leg of the longest dual flight by humans yet made a stop. The artwork below is a true negative I made from the original artwork used to etch the plaque. The other photo shows a VERY young, two weeks after graduation, newest engineer on the project three years before the flight. I was being shown where that plaque was going to be nailed.

And during that flight another man was the most isolated human since more than one existed.

Nauga,
miles from nowhere

You got that right, Mr. Hyde. Brother Collins in the command and service module going in slow orbits waiting for the other two was really lonely.
