Re: NASA Ivy
I never said it was a 'perjorative'. You have have assumed that.
Live and let live.
But it definitely was a common look - whether it is a stereotype or not.

Re: NASA Ivy
I've gotta be honest it's sometimes hit and miss. For every Pete Conrad or Frank Borman, you've got a Buzz Aldrin or a Dick Gordon.
It is intresting that most of these guys would of had their college education in the early to mid 50s. Although only 'Princeton' Pete Conrad was the only true Ivy leaguer, John Young went to Georgia Tech for instance. I was going to claim Frank Borman and Harrison Schmitt for Harvard, but that was later.

A link to the trailer for 'The Last Man on the Moon', a documentary about Eugene Cernan.

I saw it on a plane, well worth seeing if you have the opportunity. It's sad that manned space exploration beyond the earth's orbit has come to a stop. I'll watch anything about the lunar missions, I'm nostalgic for those inspirational times when optimism about the future prevailed.

Re: NASA Ivy
Great pictures, Tommy. I'm still a sucker for the old button-down and open cardigan look.
