We're all Astronauts Sometimes... delves into the psychology of Life Magazine's early 1960's astronaut portraiture. What were the intentions and purposes behind these strange photo spreads showing astronauts and model rockets and globes? Was it supposed to be an 'everyman' portrait?

We're all Astronauts sometimes.
