The Doctor Will See You Now |
Dedicated to Dr. Joseph Peter Kerwin, the first U.S. doctor in space, who spent 28 days with Pete Conrad and Paul Weitz on Skylab 2. Blog maintained by Emily C. of "As Only NASA Can," This Space Available and about 10,000 other space blogs. |
I believe Joe is at a simulated telescope mount, 1973.
Dr. Kerwin speaks to school children, 1973.
7/3/1966: “Joseph P. Kerwin of Chicago, scientist astronaut, says he would not mind going on a 400-day trip to Mars and back if he could take his guitar along for company. These photographs were taken as he played and sang for his 3-year-old daughter, Sharon.”
Thank you, lightthiscandle! This is unbelievably cute!

It’s 1980. The good doctor is pictured being adorable with Anna Fisher before EVA training. He’s wearing Rusty Schweickart’s old spacesuit.
