1961 - Charlie in his space helmet



There's Charlie (age 7) in 1961 in the backyard in his Scott McCauley space helmet. Looks like he might be holding some gun that goes with it. The helmet, has
"McCauley" written on it, was based on the television series "Men in Space" which aired 1959-1060 and featured drama based on projected space travel.

Charlie thinks it's real.

Sunny open backyard.
