Told in their own words, this book offers the heroic story of the Mercury Seven, the pioneer astronauts who risked their lives for America's first manned space voyages.
Summary
âÈò Published for the fiftieth anniversary of the Mercury program: Project Mercury ran from 1959 through 1963, put the first American in space, and defined NASAâÈçs manned space flights to come, from Gemini through Apollo. In We Seven, first published in 1962, the astronauts take readers behind the scenes of this pioneering programâÈ'even into the space capsules themselves.
âÈò Fascinating firsthand accounts: The astronauts describe the exhilarating launches, hair-raising challenges, and incredible successes of Project MercuryâÈ'from breaking through the earthâÈçs atmosphere to panicking when a hatch blows. But Project Mercury was more than the heroism of individual missions. In We Seven, AmericaâÈçs original astronauts share with usâÈ'as only they canâÈ'the hopes and dreams of the U.S. at the dawn of a new era.
