  • p51d007, on 09/05/2008, -0/+3Sad that "the heroes" of my youth are almost all gone. Glenn & Carpenter are the only ones left.

  • theMooseKing, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1is it just me, or do they all seem like they're going to some sort of weird "NASA prom?"
  • ace429k, on 09/05/2008, -1/+2lol, even if that one didnt work some of them could gloat about the moon :D
  • DoscoJones, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1Um, got facts wrong much? Learn to use teh googlez.

    Apollo 7 was flown by Wally Schirra, Donn Eisele, and R. Walter Cunningham. White and Chaffe died in the Apollo 1 fire along with Gus Grissom.
  • cawpin, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1Boiler Up!


    Waaaay up.
  • zgeorge, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1There's a whole bunch of people missing, among my favourite: Michael Collins.
    How 'bout the apollo 7 crew of Wally C., Robert Chaffe, and Ed White?
  • starmanjones, on 02/10/2009, -0/+1they are all heros... even among the heroic.

  • orangekid13, on 09/05/2008, -0/+1Some of these people have had sex in space. lucky bastards!
  • mitchotron, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0I was there! I directed the video feed to be shown on NASA TV. It was a historic night. They had a round table discussion and Armstrong was made aware of the recent Mythbusters episode debunking all the fake moon landing myths. He had no comment other than "I was there".
  • edwartica, on 09/05/2008, -1/+1Is there a reason they're all white? Does NASA have some sort of Aryan theme going on?
  • Plexusss, on 09/07/2008, -0/+0he wuz there!
  • shipwreck58, on 09/05/2008, -1/+1Neat!
  • briLo, on 09/08/2008, -0/+0Unfortunately what should and should not matter is not left up to you. It was an observation and nothing more, however it appears you like to turn everything into racism.
  • judicar, on 09/05/2008, -1/+1noob
  • Yousty, on 09/05/2008, -4/+3Good to see that NASA has a lot of diversity among its astronauts.

    /sarcasm (from a white male btw)
  • comradeTJH, on 09/05/2008, -4/+3I'm not so sure about those flowers...
  • slundal, on 09/05/2008, -2/+1How come the women are so ugly?
  • waxenpi, on 09/05/2008, -2/+1you've got to be top nerd to find this yearbook picture digg worthy
  • Acura666, on 09/05/2008, -3/+1You know CERN is starting up next week why not make a rap about it. http://digg.com/general_sciences/Large_Hadron_Rap_ ...
  • inactive, on 09/05/2008, -7/+1You have to be smart to be an astronaut. Black brains are about 8-12 percent lower in weight compared to White brains. The thickness of the supragranular layer of the Black brain is about 15 percent thinner, and its convolutions are fewer and more simple on average than that of the White brain.
  • suckanucka, on 09/05/2008, -8/+1I am all for massive amounts of space/universe/science news on Digg, but wtf?
  • vilago, on 09/05/2008, -9/+1exciting! *sarcasm*
  • Narcism, on 09/05/2008, -10/+2People dugg a picture of astronauts in suits? Something's fishy if this got to front page. At first the APOD's were suspicious... but this is out of nowhere.
  • briLo, on 09/05/2008, -12/+0Anyone else notice they're all Caucasians???
