Photoset Friday, January 7: Jerri Cobb

Today I'm starting a new Friday tradition called Photoset Friday, in which I showcase a particular photoset from the LIFE archives. This one contains pictures of Jerri Cobb, one of the famed "Mercury 13" members. These were taken in 1960 by photographer Ralph Crane.

Even though she's nearly thirty in these pictures, the photoset is entitled "Girl Astronaut." Stay classy, LIFE.
