Astronaut Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom by NASA on The Commons
Via Flickr:
Astronaut Gus Grissom, the command pilot of the first crewed mission of Project Gemini, is shown in the Gemini-Titan 3 (GT-3) spacecraft just before the hatches are secured prior to launch. Grissom and his pilot, astronaut John W. Young, made three orbits of Earth during the GT-3 mission, in four hours and 53 minutes. Virgil I. Grissom was born on April 3, 1926, in Mitchell, Indiana. After serving in the Korean War, Grissom studied aeronautical engineering and then completed Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California. In 1959, he was chosen as one of NASA's first seven astronauts, known as the Mercury Seven. He became the second American in space on his Mercury-Redstone 4 suborbital flight on July 21, 1961. Grissom was named to serve as command pilot for the AS-204 mission, the first 3-man Apollo flight. He and his crewmates died on January 27, 1967, in the Apollo spacecraft flash fire during a launch pad test at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Photo number: S65-23489 Date taken: March 23, 1965

Before Jaz shrunk, he was a massive flirt- he never really lost that habit, and Quinn is constantly fighting off his invitations~ Not because she'd mind accepting, but she's got priorities, dammit!

She’s really not too bright and moonrise tower isn’t exactly built to fit a giant, but if she thinks real hard about it and wriggles through the arches with enough determination, I think she can make her way through it and rescue Miss Minthara

"Astronaut John W. Young took this picture during the second orbit of the Gemini-Titan 3 three-orbit mission as the spacecraft 'Molly Brown' passed over Northern Mexico at an altitude of 90 miles. The light-brown circular area at the lower right is the Sonoran Desert. The lower portion of the picture is Mexico, and the upper part is California. Young used a hand-held modified 70mm Hasselblad camera with color film."
