Apollo 9 paved the way for later lunar exploration with a series of milestones, including the first Extravehicular Activity for the Apollo program, NASA’s first two-man EVA, the first manned test flight of the lunar module, and the first docking of two manned American spacecraft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1550035834164-X22YMU287P2LBC17E7IA/B612_Foundation_logo.png BIOGRAPHY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549943370192-P1QA2ANZRJXE2313GYYL/Rusty_Schweickart_Apollo_9_with_camera.jpg BIOGRAPHY https://www.rustyschweickart.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549926682996-SKNHJJUTJEHE0QOPK97I/beautiful-dark-evening-29435.jpg Contact Rusty https://www.rustyschweickart.com/photos-first daily 0.75 2019-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549844903587-VEN9UQO89JE896S2Q954/image1.jpeg PHOTOS the famous A9 shot I took of Dave during my EVA... this was just prior to me heading up the handrail (foreground) to demonstrate EVA transfer LM>CM... when Dave's (Maurer) movie camera failed and I got my "unemployed" 5 minutes... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549605988578-JG6NAMD5WAMW0Z7AZYQT/image5.jpeg PHOTOS - My mother... when she was a cutie in long curls! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549606006031-1KTG74FUCQXKFRA7TLS4/IMG_1216.jpeg PHOTOS - My Mom, Muriel, my sister Janet and I.

Meet the entire three-person crew -- James McDivitt, David Scott and Rusty Schweickart – as well as flight directors Gerry Griffin, Gene Kranz and more! The magnificent accomplishments of the Apollo lunar landing program were only possible after extensive development and testing of two all-new piloted spacecraft and a launch vehicle of unprecedented complexity and size – the famous Saturn V. Apollo 9 paved the way for later lunar exploration with a series of milestones, including the first Extravehicular Activity for the Apollo program, NASA’s first two-man EVA, the first manned test flight of the lunar module, and the first docking of two manned American spacecraft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/cf23851e-cc78-4508-b17f-84706d03288e/unnamed.jpg HOME - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/27497e9e-477d-467c-8be4-ca06f8f5954c/explorers_club.jpg HOME - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549945768902-OD1ZLTK67L4OXNN4QML2/signature.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549943860396-OEYG3F3CNWR0F2NVAXPU/Apollo_9_crew.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549943892282-V2GHMP64IF2MCM9Y255G/Rusty_Schweickart_Apollo_9_with_camera.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549943829350-88WVE39TZG4MFJLWYH7K/apollo-9-full-package-60341447444434.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549943827828-NRHH5LINZSSY1X1YQSJB/apollo-9_recovery.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549943324470-AWFBK29U034O9H4MSQWM/apollo_9_wideshot.jpg HOME https://www.rustyschweickart.com/interests daily 0.75 2019-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1550035074172-N2F1EEI6ZGT7MHPQP83N/association-of-explorers-logo.jpg INTERESTS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1550035040140-EKZX6M4NJX94EV9RTY9F/Asteroid_Day_logo_official.jpg INTERESTS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1550035150818-QKGT15X97QB8TLDXY6XH/B612_Foundation_logo.jpg INTERESTS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549925839588-0CWYS7FKH0D0KGRN64QM/astronomy-constellation-dark-998641.jpg INTERESTS https://www.rustyschweickart.com/photossummary-block daily 0.75 2019-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549925982640-MCS13ZTGVQ8BPDSMEZKB/astronomy-atmosphere-earth-220201.jpg PHOTOS-SUMMARY BLOCK https://www.rustyschweickart.com/gallery-options daily 0.75 2019-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549605988578-JG6NAMD5WAMW0Z7AZYQT/image5.jpeg gallery options - My mother... when she was a cutie in long curls! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c59cd6d7980b31c02d8a8fd/1549606006031-1KTG74FUCQXKFRA7TLS4/IMG_1216.jpeg gallery options - My Mom, Muriel, my sister Janet and I.

Meet the entire three-person crew -- James McDivitt, David Scott and Rusty Schweickart – as well as flight directors Gerry Griffin, Gene Kranz and more! The magnificent accomplishments of the Apollo lunar landing program were only possible after extensive development and testing of two all-new piloted spacecraft and a launch vehicle of unprecedented complexity and size – the famous Saturn V. Apollo 9 paved the way for later lunar exploration with a series of milestones, including the first Extravehicular Activity for the Apollo program, NASA’s first two-man EVA, the first manned test flight of the lunar module, and the first docking of two manned American spacecraft. This is a rare opportunity to meet the men responsible for helping America take the critically important next steps just months before Apollo 11’s epic Moon landing. Don’t Miss It!
