1960 Photograph of Astronaut Alan Shepard in full flight suit as part of the Mercury Program. This image was taken at the height of the Space Race and at this point the Russians had taken the lead when they sent Yuri Gagarin into orbit shortly before this image was taken. This is a rare pressure test in his new suit and it really is amazing that anyone would have had the courage to go into space with that stuff on! Condition is exceptional grading a perfect 10/10 and the classic government purple text on the back is a great touch.
