EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom is seen being raised up towards the Mercury capsule atop the Redstone rocket at Cape Canaveral on July 19, 1961. The moment captures the intense anticipation and preparation leading up to Grissom's delayed launch into space. Grissom, a veteran of the U.S. Navy and the second American to fly in space, was set to become the first man to fly in space twice, following his successful suborbital flight on the Liberty Bell 7 in 1961. However, bad weather conditions at Cape Canaveral forced a cancellation of the planned launch, delaying Grissom's journey into the unknown. In this image, Grissom is seen wearing his white pressure suit and helmet as he is lifted up by a crane towards the Mercury capsule, which sits atop the Redstone rocket. The rocket's engines and the American flag can be seen in the background, symbolizing the nation's commitment to space exploration and the pursuit of new frontiers. Despite the setback, Grissom remained determined and went on to fly again, becoming the commander of the Gemini 3 mission in March 1965, which marked the first two-person spaceflight in history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of the early astronauts who paved the way for future space exploration and discovery. The date of this photograph is July 19, 1961. This image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for rights-managed licensing from Mary Evans Prints Online.
