Wally Schirra for Actifed

Wally Schirra, the fifth American in space and the only astronaut to fly with the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo projects, famously came down with a cold during the Apollo 7 mission in 1968. He took Actifed prior to reentry and years later became a spokesman for the decongestant, appearing in commercials like this one from 1984.
