Title
Astronaut survival training
Full Description
Astronauts participate in tropical survival training at Albrook Air Force Base
near the Panama Canal. From left to right are an unidentified trainer, Neil
Armstrong, John H. Glenn, Jr., L. Gordon Cooper, and Pete Conrad. Survival
training was, and still is, an important exercise for astronauts, as a launch
abort or misguided reentry could potentially land them in a remote wilderness
area.
