Rank 61 documents Apollo 9 — the first crewed flight of the Lunar Module in space and the Earth-orbit dress rehearsal that validated docking, separation, and independent LM operations before Apollo 10's lunar approach. James McDivitt, David Scott, and Rusty Schweickart launched on Saturn V SA-504 on 3 March 1969 with LM call sign Spider and CSM Gumdrop. Schweickart's EVA from the LM porch tested the Apollo suit in space; McDivitt and Scott flew Spider 184 kilometres from Gumdrop, exercising the descent engine and rendezvous radar. Wallimilist renders the gold-foil Spider LM hero, distant Gumdrop CSM, Earth limb curve, and vertical APOLLO 9 typography exactly as the master PNG dictates — first LM flight kicker, LAUNCH 3 MAR 1969 footer, and curator copy on the mission that proved the bug-shaped lander could survive outside the command module's shadow.
