beskrivelse:

Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong (right) and David R. Scott (left) sit with their spacecraft hatches open while awaiting the arrival of the recovery ship, the USS Leonard F. Mason after the successful completion of their Gemini VIII mission. They are assisted by U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen, who jumped to their spacecraft. The Pararescuemen are: A/2C Glenn M. Moore (by the hatch), A/1C Eldridge M. Neal (upper left); and S/Sgt Larry D. Huyett (center standing on the floatation collar). The overhead view shows the Gemini 8 spacecraft with the yellow flotation collar attached to stabilize the spacecraft in choppy seas. The green marker dye is highly visible from the air and is used as a locating aid.
