00:01:02,120 --> 00:00:58,940
welcome to this edition of the

2
00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:02,130
astronauts I'm Lynn Bondurant during

3
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:04,140
this program will see the historic

4
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:06,960
suborbital flight of the first american

5
00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:09,810
manned space mission the program was

6
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:12,360
Project Mercury the year was nineteen

7
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:15,360
sixty one and the astronaut was Alan B

8
00:01:21,410 --> 00:01:18,810
Shepard the heavens have always

9
00:01:24,110 --> 00:01:21,420
presented a challenge to man many

10
00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:24,120
secrets remain locked in space secrets

11
00:01:29,210 --> 00:01:27,060
that have puzzled them for centuries the

12
00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:29,220
search for knowledge about space is

13
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:32,580
underway Cape Canaveral Florida May 5th

14
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:36,180
1961 us mercury astronaut Alan B Shepard

15
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:39,810
enters his base crap very shortly he

16
00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:43,200
will be on his way into States as the

17
00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:45,750
hat goes on two big questions come to

18
00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:50,070
your mind is the vehicle ready are you

19
00:01:57,499 --> 00:01:54,180
ready before the flight Sheppard had

20
00:01:59,540 --> 00:01:57,509
this to say I think the one thing that

21
00:02:02,180 --> 00:01:59,550
strikes me as I look back on the

22
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:02,190
training program is that I have really

23
00:02:07,130 --> 00:02:04,910
developed a feeling of confidence a

24
00:02:10,279 --> 00:02:07,140
confidence in the people with whom I

25
00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:10,289
work a confidence in the systems with

26
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:12,720
which I am dealing and will have to deal

27
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:16,290
in Floyd and of course a confident in

28
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:20,640
myself you're confident but you're human

29
00:02:27,890 --> 00:02:23,430
and you go over the program just one

30
00:02:29,930 --> 00:02:27,900
more time a feeling of confidence it

31
00:02:31,730 --> 00:02:29,940
began to grow from the day you and your

32
00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:31,740
six fellow astronauts were selected from

33
00:02:37,580 --> 00:02:34,830
hundreds of volunteers confidence in the

34
00:02:41,390 --> 00:02:37,590
people of Project Mercury the spacecraft

35
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:41,400
and the launch vehicle and confidence in

36
00:02:47,780 --> 00:02:45,990
yourself you were involved in the design

37
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:47,790
of the mercury system almost from the

38
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,250
beginning contributed ideas and

39
00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:52,560
modifications you worked with the

40
00:02:56,839 --> 00:02:54,900
engineers came to know the components

41
00:03:00,830 --> 00:02:56,849
and systems like you know your own car

42
00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:00,840
and you followed the test test after

43
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:03,990
test after test to make sure the design

44
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:25,589
while research and development was

45
00:03:38,369 --> 00:03:27,730
underway you went through almost two

46
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:38,379
years of training you flew mission after

47
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:39,970
mission in a trainer just like the

48
00:03:43,949 --> 00:03:42,099
crafter sitting in today it came

49
00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:43,959
completely familiar with every control

50
00:03:58,580 --> 00:03:56,799
and instrument an academic program

51
00:04:01,050 --> 00:03:58,590
informed to you and the other pilots on

52
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:01,060
astronautics space mechanics and

53
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:03,970
spaceflight kept you briefed on all new

54
00:04:08,970 --> 00:04:07,209
developments in the project zero gravity

55
00:04:10,379 --> 00:04:08,980
flights an aircraft acquainted you with

56
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:10,389
the condition of weightlessness you

57
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:24,910
you got in a lot of centrifuge time to

58
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:27,510
today's flight won't submit you to any

59
00:04:33,230 --> 00:04:30,320
g-forces you haven't experienced before

60
00:04:36,020 --> 00:04:33,240
the program simulated every possible

61
00:04:58,580 --> 00:04:36,030
situation you know you're ready to react

62
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:00,870
you practice controlling the craft

63
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:03,490
attitude by manual control of pitch roll

64
00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:06,370
and yaw jets that will be part of your

65
00:05:20,970 --> 00:05:09,430
mission today and you're confident that

66
00:05:22,050 --> 00:05:20,980
you can do it you piled up plenty of

67
00:05:25,260 --> 00:05:22,060
experience into three-dimensional

68
00:05:27,930 --> 00:05:25,270
rotation you know that even if tumbling

69
00:05:29,490 --> 00:05:27,940
situations occur after separation you

70
00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:29,500
can bring the craft under control with

71
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:32,920
your manual control system there were

72
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:34,330
continuing flights in high-performance

73
00:05:40,530 --> 00:05:37,180
aircraft they were important to you to

74
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:40,540
your inexperience test pilot flying is

75
00:05:48,210 --> 00:05:46,330
your business in any type of craft you

76
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:48,220
remember extensive training in escape

77
00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:50,710
and survival techniques there is always

78
00:05:56,370 --> 00:05:52,840
disliked chance the spacecraft mail and

79
00:05:59,340 --> 00:05:56,380
outside the pre-planned area as you sit

80
00:06:01,110 --> 00:05:59,350
in the spacecraft waiting for launch you

81
00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:01,120
know your training has covered every

82
00:06:20,249 --> 00:06:03,190
conceivable eventualities every

83
00:06:25,330 --> 00:06:23,129
as Project Mercury got underway

84
00:06:26,590 --> 00:06:25,340
production of redstone launch vehicles

85
00:06:29,740 --> 00:06:26,600
began at the Marshall Space Flight

86
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:29,750
Center careful individual production of

87
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:31,490
vehicles earmarked for mercury from the

88
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:33,520
day the first bolt came into the plant

89
00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:36,410
the Redstone was available and with

90
00:06:55,429 --> 00:06:53,179
at the mcdonald Aircraft Company plant

91
00:06:58,249 --> 00:06:55,439
at st. Louis just three months after

92
00:07:01,189 --> 00:06:58,259
project inception prototype spacecraft

93
00:07:03,260 --> 00:07:01,199
production was begun a few short months

94
00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:03,270
later production spacecraft were being

95
00:07:07,850 --> 00:07:05,759
completed your trip to the production

96
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:07,860
points were important you became

97
00:07:11,570 --> 00:07:09,090
thoroughly familiar with the mercury

98
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:11,580
systems the closure you got to the

99
00:07:19,149 --> 00:07:17,310
system the more confident you became you

100
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:19,159
followed the flight test program closely

101
00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:22,110
components then systems and prototypes

102
00:07:27,019 --> 00:07:24,479
then production craft a pyramid of

103
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:27,029
testing a pyramid of tests that would

104
00:07:34,490 --> 00:07:32,490
lead to manned flight you knew that data

105
00:08:14,149 --> 00:07:34,500
and know how was being gathered to

106
00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:17,279
on every flight the recovery forces were

107
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:19,750
exercised procedures were developed to

108
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:22,090
locate the craft and retrieve it it

109
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:23,889
became obvious that the craft would not

110
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:25,840
be in the water very long after landing

111
00:08:32,610 --> 00:08:30,879
a chimpanzee named ham and to monkey

112
00:08:34,529 --> 00:08:32,620
successfully flown in the spacecraft

113
00:08:48,690 --> 00:08:34,539
indicated the feasibility of manned

114
00:08:50,460 --> 00:08:48,700
flight then all this would be mind and

115
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:50,470
you knew everything humanly possible

116
00:08:55,740 --> 00:08:52,930
have been done to minimize risk to you

117
00:08:59,460 --> 00:08:55,750
and to the other astronauts it was time

118
00:09:05,750 --> 00:08:59,470
now for manned ballistic flight mercury

119
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:05,760
redstone 3 at Kate canerro launch pad 5

120
00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:07,930
preparations for the mr three flight

121
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:10,750
began weeks before launch day you went

122
00:09:14,850 --> 00:09:12,910
out and watched the redstone slowly

123
00:09:17,730 --> 00:09:14,860
carefully raised into place on the

124
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:17,740
launch pad you knew that you might be

125
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:21,610
the pilot for about 10 days prior at a

126
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,870
meeting with the spacecraft's the

127
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Redstone underwent exhaustive tests

128
00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:26,410
inspections and simulated launch

129
00:09:31,410 --> 00:09:29,260
operations this vital part of the

130
00:09:33,269 --> 00:09:31,420
mission the launch vehicle must be as

131
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:33,279
near perfect as man can make it before

132
00:09:37,829 --> 00:09:36,370
the spacecraft is installed you and your

133
00:09:59,820 --> 00:09:37,839
fellow astronauts followed the test

134
00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:02,680
while the redstone was being checked the

135
00:10:06,579 --> 00:10:04,640
spacecraft underwent test procedures at

136
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:06,589
hangar s several miles from the launch

137
00:10:11,860 --> 00:10:09,920
pad test the electrical systems the

138
00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:11,870

140
00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:21,440
verify Flight Readiness you participated

141
00:10:25,660 --> 00:10:23,000
in many of the tests and checkouts

142
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:25,670
yourself you had worked closely with the

143
00:10:30,910 --> 00:10:28,370
vehicle for many months if possible

144
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:30,920
you've got even closer to it during the

145
00:10:36,190 --> 00:10:34,250
days just before lunch you worked with

146
00:10:39,310 --> 00:10:36,200
the mercury engineers and technicians as

147
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:39,320
they prepared the craft the feeling of

148
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:41,690
confidence in the mission became even

149
00:10:46,450 --> 00:10:44,720
stronger your fellow astronauts worked

150
00:10:48,579 --> 00:10:46,460
with the same team effort that had

151
00:10:51,370 --> 00:10:48,589
prevailed over the two years of getting

152
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:51,380
ready you couldn't be everywhere at once

153
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:54,650
but they could cover for you and as you

154
00:10:58,510 --> 00:10:56,170
sit in the spacecraft you know

155
00:11:01,390 --> 00:10:58,520
everything is as ready as it can

156
00:11:03,610 --> 00:11:01,400
possibly be they covered the control

157
00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:03,620
center the blockhouse the launch vehicle

158
00:11:09,970 --> 00:11:06,980
the tracking stations they kept a finger

159
00:11:11,530 --> 00:11:09,980
on the pulse of the operation the

160
00:11:14,410 --> 00:11:11,540
spacecraft was checked out in a pressure

161
00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:14,420
chamber capable of 120 thousand foot

162
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:16,640
altitudes to test the environmental

163
00:11:22,750 --> 00:11:20,450
control system and then you were added

164
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:22,760
to the system you made sure that your

165
00:11:31,530 --> 00:11:24,410
pressure suit and the life-support

166
00:11:36,340 --> 00:11:34,059
you knew that you weren't just going for

167
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:36,350
the ride you would be required to gather

168
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:38,810
information make practical contributions

169
00:11:47,860 --> 00:11:45,170
make sure you collected usable data you

170
00:11:49,989 --> 00:11:47,870
remember the final days in hangar s the

171
00:11:52,869 --> 00:11:49,999
retrorocket package being installed and

172
00:11:54,309 --> 00:11:52,879
you know the care the attention to every

173
00:11:57,939 --> 00:11:54,319
detail that went into the final

174
00:12:00,819 --> 00:11:57,949
servicing the escape tower with its

175
00:12:02,829 --> 00:12:00,829
solid propellant rocket the system which

176
00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:02,839
will pull the spacecraft safely clear of

177
00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:04,160
the launch vehicle before a catastrophic

178
00:12:09,610 --> 00:12:07,069
failure either on the pad before launch

179
00:12:12,489 --> 00:12:09,620
during the launch or while the vehicle

180
00:12:13,660 --> 00:12:12,499
is in powered flight it's a reassuring

181
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:13,670
thought as you go through your

182
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:16,730
pre-launch countdown when each

183
00:12:21,309 --> 00:12:18,649
spacecraft system has been thoroughly

184
00:12:23,470 --> 00:12:21,319
checked out a complete simulated launch

185
00:12:25,689 --> 00:12:23,480
and flight operation was run to make

186
00:12:28,989 --> 00:12:25,699
certain all the systems work together as

187
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:28,999
well as individually and then the

188
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:30,800
mercury spacecraft was moved to the

189
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:32,959
launch pad to be made it with its launch

190
00:12:39,809 --> 00:12:37,430
vehicle at the pad the spacecraft was

191
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:39,819
raised to position on top of the vehicle

192
00:12:46,210 --> 00:12:42,439
now you knew that the final round of

193
00:12:47,949 --> 00:12:46,220
testing was at hand this flight will

194
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:47,959
provide added qualification for the

195
00:12:54,579 --> 00:12:50,649
spacecraft and its systems in space and

196
00:13:02,290 --> 00:12:54,589
train a pilot for later Atlas boosted

197
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:05,210
after mating the testing began to make

198
00:13:10,210 --> 00:13:07,170
certain the launch vehicle spacecraft

199
00:13:13,490 --> 00:13:10,220
and block house work together properly

200
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:13,500
the launch countdown was checked step by

201
00:13:19,150 --> 00:13:16,170
step and the complete mr3 system was

202
00:13:21,439 --> 00:13:19,160
verified to confirm Flight Readiness

203
00:13:24,199 --> 00:13:21,449
complete flight missions from liftoff

204
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:24,209
through landing both for normal and for

205
00:13:28,670 --> 00:13:25,610
emergency cases were flown

206
00:13:30,199 --> 00:13:28,680
electronically the spacecraft was

207
00:13:35,230 --> 00:13:30,209
heavily instrumented to provide

208
00:13:39,550 --> 00:13:37,850
throughout this period all the elements

209
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:39,560
of the mission made their preparations

210
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:42,569
recovery forces tracking stations the

211
00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:44,310
mercury control center rehearse the

212
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:47,040
mission again and again you and your

213
00:13:51,379 --> 00:13:48,889
fellow astronauts rehearse your parts

214
00:13:56,780 --> 00:13:51,389
went through the procedures over and

215
00:13:58,879 --> 00:13:56,790
over three days before launch a go no-go

216
00:14:00,889 --> 00:13:58,889
review board evaluated the Flight

217
00:14:03,889 --> 00:14:00,899

spacecraft launch vehicle pilots

219
00:14:12,199 --> 00:14:06,589
tracking stations recovery forces

220
00:14:14,119 --> 00:14:12,209
everything the decision though the

221
00:14:22,990 --> 00:14:14,129
recovery forces were dispatched and on

222
00:14:28,430 --> 00:14:26,840
May first nineteen sixty one less than

223
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:28,440
two and a half years from Project

224
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:31,529
Mercury initiation countdown for a man

225
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:34,650
to flight was in progress that's a day

226
00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:38,850
that you will never forget mr 3 followed

227
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:41,040
a split countdown about four hours the

228
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:42,930
first day a little over six hours the

229
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:45,630
second day this procedure helps reduce

00:14:52,190 --> 00:14:50,370
personnel fatigue hydrogen peroxide

231
00:14:55,130 --> 00:14:52,200
fueling this is used in a spacecraft

232
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:55,140
attitude control system the first days

233
00:15:02,269 --> 00:14:57,210
countdown was completed with this

234
00:15:05,769 --> 00:15:02,279
operation very early in the morning May

235
00:15:08,019 --> 00:15:05,779
second the final countdown is underway

236
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:08,029
liquid oxygen for the launch vehicle

237
00:15:13,220 --> 00:15:10,710
before this operation a meeting had been

238
00:15:17,170 --> 00:15:13,230
held to review the weather situation the

239
00:15:19,940 --> 00:15:17,180
weather was marginal but the decision go

240
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:19,950
at the mercury control center every

241
00:15:23,630 --> 00:15:21,690
detail of the countdown and status of

242
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:23,640
all other elements such as the recovery

243
00:15:27,710 --> 00:15:25,529
forces in the tracking station was

244
00:15:29,570 --> 00:15:27,720
carefully monitored the mercury

245
00:15:43,379 --> 00:15:29,580
operations director manages the entire

246
00:15:48,370 --> 00:15:46,300
in the blockhouse systems checks were

247
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:48,380
completed in the spacecraft launch

248
00:15:52,930 --> 00:15:50,959
vehicle checks were also completed the

249
00:15:55,090 --> 00:15:52,940
recovery forces were on station in a

250
00:15:56,829 --> 00:15:55,100
line along the flight path ready to

251
00:16:01,360 --> 00:15:56,839
retrieve the craft even if there should

252
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:01,370
be an under shoot or an overshoot you

253
00:16:06,999 --> 00:16:03,350
remember the final physical of hangar s

254
00:16:09,730 --> 00:16:07,009
the feeling that now at last the time

255
00:16:11,699 --> 00:16:09,740
was almost at hand and he remembered a

256
00:16:14,079 --> 00:16:11,709
feeling of confidence that you had

257
00:16:18,309 --> 00:16:14,089
confidence that all systems were ready

258
00:16:19,809 --> 00:16:18,319
and that you were ready to before

259
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:19,819
leaving the hangar for the launch pad

260
00:16:24,819 --> 00:16:22,250
you had sensor leads attached to your

261
00:16:26,439 --> 00:16:24,829
body these leads would provide tonier

262
00:16:30,129 --> 00:16:26,449
data on your body functions and

263
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:30,139
reactions during the flight mercury

264
00:16:33,819 --> 00:16:31,910
flights are designed to provide

265
00:16:36,819 --> 00:16:33,829
comprehensive information about man

266
00:16:38,740 --> 00:16:36,829
during spaceflight information that can

267
00:16:42,850 --> 00:16:38,750
be used by people all over the world in

268
00:16:45,129 --> 00:16:42,860
their own research projects and then it

269
00:16:47,079 --> 00:16:45,139
happened you remember the left down

270
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:47,089
feeling you got when this lockbox gave

271
00:16:55,420 --> 00:16:52,010
the word test number 108 mr3 was

272
00:16:58,720 --> 00:16:55,430
scrubbed because of whether a letdown

273
00:17:00,280 --> 00:16:58,730
feeling yes but it was reassuring to

274
00:17:03,970 --> 00:17:00,290
know that the mission would not go

275
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:03,980
unless everything was right then it was

276
00:17:09,309 --> 00:17:06,530
Friday made fifth three days later and

277
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:09,319
the countdown was proceeding again you

278
00:17:13,919 --> 00:17:11,270
remember the feeling you have that this

279
00:17:18,189 --> 00:17:13,929
was the day there'd be no scrub today

280
00:17:22,270 --> 00:17:18,199
the mission would go you remember the

281
00:17:24,850 --> 00:17:22,280
ride to the pad in the transport van you

282
00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:24,860
had rehearsed the procedure before taken

283
00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:26,750
the ride to the pad climbed into the

284
00:18:58,680 --> 00:17:30,590
spacecraft but this time you knew it was

285
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:09,690
a feeling of confidence his astronaut

286
00:19:13,530 --> 00:19:11,050
Shepard goes through the pre-launch

287
00:19:15,620 --> 00:19:13,540
countdown he knows the system is as

288
00:19:17,910 --> 00:19:15,630
ready as human effort can make it

289
00:19:19,710 --> 00:19:17,920
doctors in the mercury control center

290
00:19:21,090 --> 00:19:19,720
and the blockhouse monitor Shepards

291

296
00:19:34,380 --> 00:19:31,960
pulled back the emergency vehicle known

peggle get really like it still good

331
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:54,099
mr 3 followed a normal ballistic arc

332
00:26:00,719 --> 00:25:58,129
peaking at about 115 miles altitude the

333
00:26:03,699 --> 00:26:00,729
spacecraft landed 300 miles downrange

334
00:26:06,009 --> 00:26:03,709
the complete flight took 16 minutes in

335
00:26:27,450 --> 00:26:06,019
gave Alan Shepard about five minutes of

336
00:26:32,049 --> 00:26:30,099
just 11 minutes after the spacecraft

337
00:26:35,409 --> 00:26:32,059
landed Shepherd in the craft were on the

338
00:26:38,139 --> 00:26:35,419
lake champlain complete and detailed

339
00:26:39,849 --> 00:26:38,149
information on the flight and on Alan

340
00:26:42,159 --> 00:26:39,859
Shepard was recorded from launch to

341
00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:42,169
recovery information to be made

342
00:26:51,990 --> 00:26:43,849
available to scientists and interested

343
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:54,730
within minutes after the flight suffered

344
00:26:58,780 --> 00:26:57,170
received a well-done from the president

345
00:27:01,600 --> 00:26:58,790
on behalf of the people of the United

346
00:27:04,150 --> 00:27:01,610
States a well-done accepted by Shepherd

347
00:27:13,540 --> 00:27:04,160
as a representative of all the people in

348
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:13,550
Project Mercury Project Mercury another

349
00:27:20,410 --> 00:27:16,090
step in man's search for knowledge

350
00:27:23,140 --> 00:27:20,420
freedom 7 another step toward man in

351
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:23,150
space the flight objectives of the

352
00:27:28,750 --> 00:27:26,210
mission were to learn if man can work in

353
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:28,760
space and to become familiar with space

354
00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:31,490
flight thanks to the efforts of early

355
00:27:38,260 --> 00:27:34,430
astronauts we confirm that human beings

356
00:27:40,750 --> 00:27:38,270
can work in space in our next show will

357
00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:40,760
learn the story of John Glenn's historic

358
00:27:46,090 --> 00:27:43,760
flight around the earth until then this

359
00:27:47,950 --> 00:27:46,100
is Lynn Bondurant saying goodbye from
