Title: 'Punch a Hole in the Sky' - That's the Right Stuff. Post by: Jonnie Goodboy on September 19, 2011, 07:05:12 pm Interesting tube recording USA's delayed but much anticipated first man in Earth Orbit. The year - 1962 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa6bYjMP6Z0&feature=player_detailpage After Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov suceeded a year or so earlier, NASA put it's first man - John Glenn into a "minimum seven orbits" spin of the planet. And of course, much deliberation and argument lead the scientists to deciding it prudent to put a chimpanzee into a test flight vehicle the preceding year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoLEYFEyV04&feature=player_detailpage |
