Wow. Conceptually, anyone who has ever thought about it senses that high heels are really unhealthy for the wearer, but I don't think I've ever seen a better gut punch of a demonstration of that than this pic. Ouch!

Those are pretty extreme. I'm guessing about a 5" heel, which is not common to see in the upright position :D 3.5 is about the max I can hang with for a few hours, and that took a lot of practice :rolleyes:

The NASA Mercury Seven were the group of the first seven astronauts for Project Mercury announced by NASA on April 9, 1959. They are also referred to as the Original Seven and Astronaut Group 1.

The Mercury Seven in 1960. Back row: Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom, Gordon Cooper; front row: Wally Schirra, Deke Slayton, John Glenn, Scott Carpenter. This was the only time they would appear together in pressure suits. Slayton and Glenn are wearing spray-painted work boots.

I used to sell sports cards for a living in the late 80s. I specialized in shopping mall shows. I would rent a few 8 foot tables every weekend and have a ball. One weekend I did a show at a mall in the SF bay area that was an outside mall, which was unusual. My two tables were located right next to a table rented by Gordon Cooper. All weekend he was my neighbor. He had a bunch of photos and artifacts and one friend (another pilot) with him. I got to spend a lot of time with him and I must have asked him a million questions. I was in heaven. He was just as nice as can be. I still have his autograph.
