Although hand-dated the month after the flight, what appears (to me) to be a worst case/’what if’ scenario of an incapacitated, drunk or otherwise in distress Ed White during his historic Gemini IV EVA.

He’s even lost his Hand-Held Maneuvering Unit (HHMU)!

 

Disclaimer: I by no means mean to insinuate that Mr. White was an alcoholic. I’ve just always associated the ‘bubbles’ IVO a character’s head to indicate inebriation.

 

It’s wonderful, perplexing and not surprisingly, by John Gorsuch, so ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

It reminds me a little of the final character seen here, Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris):
