Day 8 (and nearly late!) #Apollo #ApolloAday #Spacephotography

21-29 Aug 1965

Gemini V

The first week long mission in space! These are the Kevir Salt Flats in Iran. Can anyone else see a big face looking to the right or is it just me?

Gemini IV

The "Eye of Africa" in Mauritania. Before this picture was taken the crew complained they'd been too busy to look outside much!

Day 6 #Apollo #ApolloAday

Ed White in the capsule following his EVA. He said coming in from the EVA was the saddest day of his life!

Day 5 #Apollo #ApolloAday

3-7 June 1965

Gemini IV

These photos will get more linked together as we go through. On the same spacewalk as yesterday's pic, Ed White was able to take a photo of the outside of Gemini IV. The 1st chance to assess the effects of launch on a craft

Day 4 #Apollo #ApolloAday

3-7 June 1965

Gemini IV

Ed White complete as 23min EVA. This is the first photo of a person outside a space vehicle in space.

Of course Alexei Leonov performed the worlds first spacewalk 11 weeks earlier

I love this picture!

Day 2 #ApolloAday #Apollo

Feb 20 1962

Mercury-Atlas 6. John Glenn and NASA's first orbital manned mission.

The first sunrise/sunset photograph from space. The white smudgy bit is Glenn's reflection I think!

Alan Shepherds first flight in space! The disc in the top right is the mission timer

I got Apollo Remastered for Christmas and finally I have carved out some time to look at it. The pictures are absolutely beautiful.

Anyway my plan is to share one picture with you each day. To kick off, here's the first few pages which are great in my opinion!
