Oppose – Govt. promotional photo that tells nothing about highly perilous Apollo 13 mission. Faces of subjects constitute relatively small proportion of image. – Sca (talk) 12:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Sca. These men weren't known for wearing suits, so the EV is modest here. Commons has several photos of the Apollo 13 crew wearing spacesuits (including one posing while doing so with their rocket) that have stronger EV, though the resolution looks lowish - presumably higher res versions are available.
