Preparing to board. Astronauts Pete Conrad & Gordon Cooper get set for Gemini 5, Aug 1965. The 7 day, 23 hour mission was the 1st time NASA held the world record for duration in space, having beat the USSR’s Vostok 5’s accomplishment in 1963. Hurricane Betsy’s impending presence cut G5’s mission short a day. The cabin size of the Gemini capsule was equivalent to the front seat of a VW Beetle. Nearly 8 days spent in such a small space. Incredible achievement.

Headcanons for going trick or treating with the Astros.

Trick or Treating with the NASA Astronauts:
they all know the houses in the neighborhood that have the king size candy bars
Pete Conrad and Al Bean have been planning their costumes for weeks
you almost laugh your butt off when they come to pick you up in a toothbrush and toothpaste couples costume
Frank Borman is the designated driver
if asked if he was going to dress up, he was like "Fuck no"
and that was it
John Young was basically the same way, except no expletives
Frank drives y'all around the neighborhood so you don't have to walk
you bump into Gene Cernan taking Tracy down the street
Pete and Al basically give Tracy all their candy <3
Pete makes it a whole thing of saying "Trick or Treat, smell my feet..."
every time
at every house
all the housewives just look at him like "please shut up and go"
Frank has probably yelled at him from the car to shut up a couple times
Al is ofc a total sweetheart to everyone
complimenting the outdoor decor
giving his candy to the too dang cute trick or treaters
you also see Neil with his kids
he looks bored af
you go to your house afterwards to eat candy and watch scary movies
you all empty your candy bags on the kitchen counter and share
Frank takes all the tootsie rolls
"Because I was nice enough to drive you knuckleheads!"
Pete chooses some cheesy horror b movie
basically laughs the whole way through
John Young plays like he's definitely not interested in watching
but is in fact the only one who stays awake the whole time to watch it

Pete Conrad: il dislessico che andò sulla Luna!
Pete Conrad: il dislessico che andò sulla Luna!
Charles Conrad, detto “Pete”, era dislessico, da bambino gli consigliarono di puntare a lavori poco impegnativi: fu il terzo uomo a camminare sulla Luna! Questa storia mi ricorda molto l’aneddoto del calabrone che, per le leggi dell’aerodinamica, non potrebbe volare, ma che non lo sa e quindi vola lo stesso! Sì, stiamo per affrontare l’ennesimo articoletto in omaggio a un astronauta, anzi penso…

ok im a lil behind on mentopolis but using pete's theme (needles by v. v. campos) for conrad's group scene in episode 2 is so mcuh to me actually
like i know it's just a generally amazing mystery theme but damn. my brain is. running wild. 2 young guys (one, a child) pitted against the environment they are in while also being extremely special.

Pete Conrad & Alan Bean train for an upcoming lunar landing via Apollo 12. The Nov 1969 moon landing was the second in the Apollo Program. The 3rd & 4th men on the moon spent 31 hours on the lunar surface while Command Module Pilot Richard Gordon orbited above. The mission saw an increased focus on geological training than A11. Another difference between the 2 missions were that hammocks were installed in the Lunar Module so Bean & Conrad could have a more comfortable stay with the spacecraft than Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin had during Apollo 11.
