Today, experience a brief potpourri from the Summer of 1962! In this July 1962 image, Spaceman John Glenn (not the one of NASA fame!) poses with two happy little gents outside of the Dutch Boy Paint Color Gallery.
By this time, the TWA Moonliner attraction had been re-branded/sponsored by Douglas Aircraft Company.
Want to see those round balls up close? Of course you do…
Below is an August 1962 image of the entire rocket ship:

Personally I always preferred the stripes and design of the Douglas rocket, but I have to admit the TWA will always be more icon and the "go to" image of that craft. I always admired the thought that went into the landing legs, the slides where the legs could go up and down, etc. Details like that are what gave you the idea this thing might actually work.
