There’s so much context missing:

  • why’s is he eating breakfast?
  • what’s with the watches?
  • does he punch people with rings on or off?

The watch reads 3:05 so it's either brunch, or maybe he's a little bonkers with his sleep schedule? Based on what looks like the shadow from sunlight on the wall, I'm going with he's having a late brunch. Don't judge the man. You've never had a delicious plate of bacon edit: (Yes, I know it's steak) and eggs cause you felt like it?

He's a brand ambassador for Omega Speedwatch, which is part of why he does it, but he usually has several watches on.

Knowing this dude's public persona, I'm going with Rings on.

I think that may be the breakfast he had on launch day. I read the book that Michael Collins wrote (highly recommended) and what's on that plate matches my memory.

Looking at it, I might try to make this breakfast for dinner this week...

Carrying the Fire! Awesome book - I read it a few years ago. Collins always added a wonderful perspective.

That breakfast is pretty killer though. I see that and I want to grow up to be an astronaut too.
