  • Comment - There is minor damage to the image. Restoration should be quick and painless, but should be done before featuring this image. Aside from that... this is a very well staged picture, and honestly it probably has more EV for the two testing models.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:05, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I can do it if you don't feel like it. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.4% of all FPs. 01:06, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I haven't restored anything in ages. I can have a go tonight, though. It should only take a few minutes.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:05, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Alt 1 – What a great photo. When I was growing up in the 1960s and making plastic models of Sealab and Mercury space capsules, this is exactly what I thought working at NASA would look like. Choliamb (talk) 15:28, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
