The “New Nine,” the first new group of astronauts chosen by NASA after the original “Mercury Seven”, 7 September 1962.
Neil Armstrong, Frank Borman, John Young, Thomas P. Stafford, Charles Conrad Jr., James A. McDivitt, James Lovell, Elliot See and Edward H. White II. These amazing group photo include the first American to walk in space, the commander of the first mission to the moon, the first man on the moon, three moonwalkers total, and the commander of the first shuttle mission. These nine astronauts flew on a total of twenty-five space missions.
The B&W Polaroid photo is from this same photography session where, instead of looking at the camera and smiling like they were instructed, all nine are looking away in various directions. Neil Armstrong’s pose is particularly noteworthy as his head is tilted back and his mouth wide open as he looks up into space.
