Support The image is of Alan B. Shepard Jr., the first American to fly into space. The image is of very high quality and has a great composition. -- Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 15:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)- Support -- Tseno Maximov (talk) 17:01, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Oppose Bad quality for a photo taken in 1961 on earth (this wasn't taken in space). This looks like it dates from 1861 instead! Even the pictures taken on the moon eight years later had both color and better quality. Also, the crop is far from ideal. -- JovanCormac 18:10, 3 October 2009 (UTC)- Oppose Per Jovan. —kallerna™ 20:41, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

- Consider valued image instead? No way to go back in time and get this shot again, and it has historic importance. ++Lar: t/c 14:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
