Six of the 7 Mercury astronauts arrive at Convair in San Diego in September of 1959. From left, Wally Schirra, Gus Grissom, John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, Alan Shepard and Gordon Cooper. On the day this picture was taken, who could have foreseen their fates? With the exception of Carpenter, all of these men flew into space at least twice. Wally Schirra was the only astronaut to fly Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Gus Grissom flew on Mercury and Gemini, but died in the tragic Apollo 1 fire in 1967. Alan Shepard walked on the moon in 1971. John Glenn is both the first (1962) and oldest (1998) American to orbit the earth, and the only Mercury astronaut to fly on the space shuttle, get elected to Congress, and be a candidate for Vice-President (1976) and President (1984), losing the latter to Walter Mondale. (Mondale polled 49%, Glenn, 41%, so he was close. One has to wonder - if Glenn had been nominated in 1984, would he have beaten Ronald Reagan, and what effect would that have had on world history?)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Miller_Gould ? The timing seems right as she married in 1913.

Does this image need to be flipped or was the caption written onto the wrong side of the negative?
The Library of Congress said:
johnny appleseed99: You were right, the image needed to be flipped. We've fixed that now. Usually the writing is on the correct side, but sometimes we have to double check against the original negative. In this case the caption was on the correct side and the stock number "2202-11" was on the other side. Thanks for catching this for us.
