Every time I see this photo I giggle at the thought that astronaut pulled the ultimate dad move and told the rest of his family that it was just a normal family portrait session and to wear regular clothes only to show up himself in a damn space suit.

Gotta deduct some points for not having the space helmet on the dog.

I 200 percent thought the same exact thing -- like there is NO WAY his daughters didn't beg him not to wear that suit lol

Meanwhile there was a big debate about a dog spacesuit. He lost.

Going to tell the Sears photographer he's a bit of a photographer himself and pull out a picture of Earth he snapped from space

It's the modern version of the old west prop photo.

one of my favorite stories (maybe real?) ever was a couple having a wedding in late October and told half their guests to dress formal and half of them to wear Halloween costumes

All those females. Being in space is probably the only time he gets some bathroom time. 😆

The real dad move was "Hey they're taking these pictures of me for free, maybe I can get them to snap a few of the family while they're at it"

I’m trying to figure out who the astronaut is in this portrait. 😂 Beautiful family. They even got the dog to pose. Love it!
CalPoly🐎!
