Astronauts during jungle survival training in Panama, 1967. I can’t tell who that is on the left (any suggestions?) but the other two are Jack Swigert and Charlie Duke.

Jack Swigert’s mother talks with Ken Mattingly, at a post-Apollo 13 gathering in her son’s apartment. Jack had replaced Mattingly on Apollo 13 after Mattingly was exposed to the measles.

This photo melts my heart into tiny pieces.

More photos of Ken Mattingly and Jack Swigert at a postflight party in Swigert’s apartment, April 1970.

If you are doom scrolling, do me a little favor. Take a big deep breathe. Take two more. Look up and at your surroundings. Pay attention to the light, the objects, the sounds. You are here in this moment. The infinite world accessible through your phone is simply too much for your mind to handle all the time. You deserve peace of mind and soul. Bring yourself back to the present, and set your phone down.
