APOLLO 9 DURING SIM TRAINING AT KSC, CREW SIGNED
WITH A RARE SMILE AND SIGNATURE FROM THE ICY COMMANDER - ALAN SHEPARD
Black and white photograph, 8 x 10 inches. Printed NASA/KSC captions on verso.
SIGNED by JAMES McDIVITT, RUSTY SCHWEICKART, and DAVE SCOTT. Additionally signed by ALAN SHEPARD.
The NASA/KSC caption reads in part: "February 25, 1969, Kennedy Space Center, FLA. – Apollo 9 Command Module Pilot David R. Scott, right, appears to be the center of attention during (a) lighter moment today...." Alan Shepard, Chief of the Astronaut Office, offers a rare smile to Dave Scott while near consoles of the Apollo spacecraft simulators at KSC. Known in some circles as the "Icy Commander," Shepard rarely showed any emotions. He was America's first man in space and later commanded Apollo 14 in 1971, becoming the fifth man to walk on the Moon.
