The OG Shiny and Chrome.

They are actually Earth astronauts.

Crazy to think how quickly they had to take that photo as their space suits melted right off of them within seconds.

Also crazy to think that it took NASA seven months to realize that aluminum-coated nylon was a far better choice for space suit material.

The boot discrepancy is interesting, I wonder if that has to do with fit, mission assignments, rank, role, or personal preference.

Pretty cool historical capsule

Latter Grissom would be part of the Apollo 1 casualties

When they moved it must have sounded like crinkling bags of Sun Chips

There's an incredible documentary on YouTube about Project Mercury, I'd highly recommend watching it you're into the development of the US Space programme. It's over 2 hours 30mins, but it's so well put together.

Guts to strap onto the top of a missile and hope it worked.

I liked them in that Pump Up The Volume video

When's the new album drop?

Ahh! It’s darth Vader from the planet krypton!

Only two of them can connect to the waste evac pipe at a time?

Such spacesuit

Much wow
