Astronaut, author, professional football player, and STEM educator Leland Melvin was born #OTD in 1964.

Here he is in the greatest photo ever produced by the US space program.

Astronaut Leland Melvin posing in his flight suit with his two dogs. He is smiling and looking at the camera, while the dogs climb on his lab and lick the side of his face. The flight suit is baggy and orange, with a black ring around the neck where the helmet attaches. A US flag is in the background, and a model of the space shuttle is partially visible.
