𝘈𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 just arrived. I have been eagerly awaiting this book. It is full of digitally enhanced high-res scans from the NASA original negatives. Author Andy Saunders picked the best of 35,000 photos and stacked video frames, and in some cases, unveiled hidden gems from underexposed film, especially for the rare shots inside the spacecraft.

Here are some examples from Gemini IV, early in the book… On this mission in 1965, Ed White performed America’s first space walk, and I happen to have the bio-monitoring electrode he wore throughout.

I was struck by White’s visage… something we have never seen before. He perished less than two years later in the Apollo 1 fire.
