You Had Me At The First Line

Spending this Sunday evening thinking abt how Gus and Deke were best friends, wore matching shirts, built fences and played with bunny rabbits together, flew cross country for fun and played handball and carried bears seven miles through the woods. Deke needed Gus’ help learning to swim, Gus wanted Deke’s help when he almost drowned after Liberty Bell 7, Deke titled his memoir after a Gus-attributed quote in The Right Stuff and also used the same style as Gus’ book title (Gemini! and Deke!). Thinking about these absolute buddies.

A collection of favorite Wally shots for his birthday!!!

Astronauts because I feel weak cause there is like no space on Tumblr at the moment

Oh and also I am going to unfollow a few people who post more non-spacs things than space things cause that's not what I like to see but I will check for space regularly and keep in touch 😉😉 if that's alright
