Thats an interesting photo. Who took it?
James Lovell, I think. I can remember this still. I was struggling to stay alive with Dengue fever, and armpit deep in the Cambodian invasion, that year. The Army Times that got passed around gave a clear account of it. I should have worried more about my own health, but I was very relieved when they got back alive. Delirious with fever, I asked about their fate at 9th Evac. hospital in Long Binh. The astronauts were and remain heroes to me still. They took much bigger risks than me, and came through when lesser men would have died. Combat after that seemed not to be dangerous to me. We never lacked clean air to breathe, and the jungle was everything but bone chilling cold. And I still hate flying.
