This 60s-era NASA film "Flight of Faith 7" is a documentary about the final flight of Project Mercury. Faith 7 was launched May 15th, 1963 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The film follows astronaut Leroy Gordon Cooper Jr. as he prepares for and eventually carries out the 4th American manned orbital flight and proves how well man can function in space as well as the efficacy of humans as the primary component of space flight systems. Project Mercury’s launch was an international spectacle that was televised on screens throughout North America and Europe.

"But on that glorious day in 1963; Gordo Cooper would fly farther, higher, and faster than any man had flown before. And for one brief moment Gordo Cooper would become the greatest pilot anyone had ever seen."
Paraphrased
The Right Stuff - without doubt the best space movie ever made.
@@bradwilliams1691 One of my all time top ten.
@@michaeldavidfigures9842 Absolutely.
GO HOTDOG GO!

As a 10-year old kid, these were very exciting times. I followed the space program closely, read everything I could get my hands on. These films are great to watch; bring me back to a much simpler time. "Mom, can I have another glass of Tang?"
I had Sooooooo much tang in those days
I was 11 in '63. I hated Tang but drank it because if it was good enough for the astronauts (especially John Glenn) it was good enough for me. Cheers.
My second grade teacher Mrs. Newton brought a radio in to school so we could listen to coverage of this mission live. The school was the 240 year-old Gaylord School, the last one room schoolhouse in operation in Connecticut. At tthe time I didn't appreciate the poetic beauty of observing the beginings of the Space Age from a Colonial era schoolhouse.
SISTER FRANCIS ANTHONY , MY TEACHER PUT A SMALL TRANSITOR RADIO ON HER DESK SO OUR CLASS COULD LISTEN
All Oklahomans are quite proud of this cat 'Gordo' was one-of-a-kind. RIP hero.
Thanks for this great reminder of how these pioneers of spaceflight got the job done despite malfunctions... so good to see the hotdog man himself... RIP Gordo,you're in good company!
Great...glad you got to see it and appreciate it.

USAF Captain Gordon Cooper was the first to take good photographs of Earth's surface and oceans. Moreover he was the first to check two different time pieces while in orbit as he wore his personal Omega Speedmaster CK2998 chronograph on his left wrist and his personal Accutron Astronaut GMT tuning fork pilot watch on his right wrist. 🧐MoonwatchUniverse
BAD-ASS FACTS ABOUT BAD-ASS TIMEPIECES
AND BAD ASS GORDON COOPER.
He also took pictures of a few things he wasn't supposed to...
The amount of effort a coordination that went into this program is so impressive.
Even by modern standards.
Just amazing.
They only mentioned this in passing, but nearly every automatic system failed on that flight.
Those Mercury astronauts were really heroes. It's a wonder that none of them died on those flights.
In my opinion America's greatest astronaut pulling off that manual re-entry after instrument failure wow Gordon Cooper the man 🤘🏻
Faith 7 splashed down 4 miles from the prime recovery ship. This was the most accurate landing to date in the U.S. space program, despite the failure of the automatic controls.
Talk about a real American hero. This guy had a giant brass balls and he was smart the best they had. Much respect
Go hotdog! Go!
OK, you can be Gus...
And for a brief moment, Gordo Copper became the greatest pilot anyone had ever seen :)
@@publicmail2 They really did Grissom dirty in that movie.A great pilot and engineer and they picked 'hillbilly' to go with as personallity
@@mdcraig62 The thing I don't like about that movie is he portrayed as a nut, which is unfair.
@@publicmail2 It was fair.
Wow, what an important capture of the history of humanity in space. I had the privilege to attend classes for a couple years at the Gordon Cooper Technology Center in Shawnee Oklahoma where I was able to gain insight into the unique individual that was Gordon. He apparently witnessed UFO phenomena but few ever want to mention that.
""He apparently witnessed UFO phenomena but few ever want to mention that."" == After leaving NASA he told some really far-out stories, that are still debated.
@@JamesOberg Debated… Yes. But as testimony in Congress demonstrated yesterday, old Gordo has been vindicated. There indeed are UFO/UAPs that cannot be explained.
@@Primus54 == How does some general UAP admission in the 2020's reflect on specific incidents from the 1950s? Have you ever seen ANY independent investigations of Cooper's 1957 'landing at Edwards' story? A =SINGLE= other witness report?
@@Primus54 -- "old Gordo has been vindicated" == You mean about his tale of a UFO landing at Edwards AFB in 1957? Has =ANYBODY= checked and validated THAT story?
@@JamesOberg Asked & answered… This appears to be very important to you, but I’m not arguing? 🙄
His voice on accent is great. Can tell how much he's getting shaken.
Poor Shepard had a rectal thermometer, albeit a sub orbital flight.
Yeah but his Taint Tension Meter was much more uncomfortable.
@@abundantYOUniverse Without a doubt, all he said was taint nothing to it.
@@whirledpeas3477 Mr. Hamster, I would proudly serve with you in a bed made of Timothy Hay or dried grass.
It’s wonderfully ironic that the probable next spacecraft to be qualified to fly human beings, the Boeing Starliner, also uses the Atlas booster, albeit the latest generation. That is one seriously successful booster family!
Cool vid!... read his book🚀
Mr. Cooper? Who's the best pilot you ever saw?
"F'n eh Bubba. Go Hotdog Gooo...
Who's the best pilot I ever saw?
I said pictures on a wall! Back at some place that, uh... don't even exist anymore...
2:26 John Glenn
Bonus points if you can name the guy on the left. I think it's Deke Slayton.
It's a pity MA-10 was never launched.
Why they don't fly from north pole to the south pole ?
It takes a bit less fuel to launch in the direction Earth is already rotating. And things like comm stations coverage and emergency landing sites were probably also of importance. Polar orbit would have required flying over the poles, Russia and China and in case of emergency also possibly landing there. Rescue mission in the middle of a polar winter would have probably been impossible.
What Bogdan said ... AND ... we were in the middle of the Cold War with Russia at that time.
This the same flight of the so called special measuring flight where his gold maps were made from. That steel ball looks interesting.. but why did they put it in a ball? If he accomplished all that training its no wonder .. his knowledge couldn't be touched..
Yes, it's supposed to be the flight with the secret Pentagon sensor that located gold-laden sunken Spanish galleons in the Caribbean. The story was a TV 'crockumentary' hoax from the get-go.
I like how the paint on the outside of the re-entry vehicle "United States" etc, stays in tact after 3000 degrees of fire engulfing it upon re-entry. Theatre.
Maybe because the side of the vehicle doesn't see " 3000 degrees of fire" but i guess you're an expert in aerodynamics on re-entry vehicles. Get lost troll.
Look up blunt body reentry for a refresher course....
Here's a hint...notice how the ablative heat shield is on the bottom and not on the sides??
P.S. If I can buy 500 degree rated engine enamel at my local NAPA, what do you think NASA uses to pretty up their spaceships?
@@codymoe4986 Every one of their questions has a pretty obvious and logical answer. IF... the deniers understood science.
P.S. I think I know what happened during my reply earlier where I assumed you were a denier.. I thought you posted your reply as a statement, not a question. Hence my response.
@@codymoe4986 Here is what really happens. You can watch from the 11 minute mark. The whole thing gets fried. ruclips.net/video/XDQnaLPD3s0/видео.html
