Original – Astronaut Roger Chaffee working as capsule communicator (CAPCOM) during the Gemini 3 mission.
Reason
Especially considering when this photo was taken, this is a high resolution photo with the subject set nicely in focus. This photo shows an astronaut in a somewhat unnatural state; they are working as CAPCOM instead of working in space. It is verifiable through NASA sources. There is an accurate description in English.
