@NASA has an “oldie but a goodie” picture up today – David Scott’s spacewalk on Apollo 9, which took place 55 years ago this week. Apollo 9 was important because it was the first complete flight of the entire Apollo spacecraft as one platform and vital to proving the flight capabilities of the Lunar Module, to include rendezvous and docking with the Command Service Module. A great shot taken by Rusty Schweickart!
