In his painting called Grissom and Young, American painter and illustrator Norman Rockwell captures technicians helping NASA astronauts John Young and Gus Grissom suit up for the first flight of the Gemini program in March 1965. NASA loaned Norman Rockwell a Gemini spacesuit to make this painting as accurate as possible.
Since its beginning, NASA has used the power of art to communicate the extraordinary aspects of its missions in a way that connects uniquely with humanity. NASA’s original art program, started in 1962 under the direction of Administrator James Webb, included a diverse collection of works from artists such as Rockwell, Andy Warhol, and Annie Leibovitz.

在他的画作《格里森和杨》（Grissom and Young）中，美国画家兼插画家诺曼·洛克威尔（Norman Rockwell）描绘了技术人员为NASA宇航员约翰·杨（John Young）和格斯·格里森（Gus Grissom）穿戴宇航服的场景，这是1965年3月双子座计划（Gemini Program）首次飞行的准备过程。为了尽可能确保绘画的准确性，NASA向诺曼·洛克威尔借出了一套双子座宇航服作为参考。
自NASA成立以来，该机构一直利用艺术的力量，以独特的方式向人类传达其探索任务的非凡之处。NASA的原创艺术计划始于1962年，由时任NASA局长詹姆斯·韦伯（James Webb）发起，曾邀请众多知名艺术家创作作品，包括洛克威尔、安迪·沃霍尔（Andy Warhol）和安妮·莱博维茨（Annie Leibovitz）等。
