Watching Apollo 13: Survival on Netflix. Great actual footage.

Quite a few pipes in the crowd shots while we were waiting for the reentry radio blackout to end.

A couple of the Houston Mission Controllers:
Nice saddle stemmed bulldog (didn’t see any shots of the obverse/markings):

This gent has a tin and his backup pipe on his control desk:

aaahhh, the days when you could smoke anywhere and everywhere... including mission control. I don't know that life has gotten better since then.

I'll be amazed if anyone remembers this mini-series from the mid '70s, The Oregon Trail...but this character was a pipe smoker...don't recall if there were any others.

Bonus points if anyone can guess who the funny looking kid in the back left is.

it has and also it's gotten worse too. Seems to be the way life works. Seriously only partially joking. In some ways we're super lucky to be alive now and in others not so lucky. The thing is we might disagree on what those particular things are.
