On the morning of June 12, Peake and his Crewmates officially became aquanauts,
having spent over 24 hours underwater.
Bean and his Apollo 12 Crewmates, Charles“Pete” Conrad and Richard“Dick” Gordon,
chose Riverside Gold Corvettes with custom-painted black accent“wings” that evoked the colors of the Apollo lunar module.
Bean and his Crewmates picked up their custom coupes from former Indy
500 winner Jim Rathmann, who ran a Chevrolet dealership in Melbourne, Florida, and then drove them back to NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center(now Johnson Space Center) in Houston.
