One of my heroes when I was a kid -- I was heartbroken when he died. This pic captures perfectly something of who he was, or more accurately all of that group. He's in his civvies looking relaxed, but where is he? At his job, while the engineers work on the tools of the trade.
estiv - Grissom's someone I have a lot of admiration for as well. He was a hard-ass and perfectionist mission commander but those who worked with him loved him.
