As a student of Aerospace engineering, I take my hat off to those before me and the great successes that they accomplished in the name of science, history, and pride of the human race. The uncertainties were numerous and failure was around every corner and yet they had the courage to continue this epic of space flight. I say Thanks to them for inspiring me to study Aerospace engineering.
Sure brought back a lot of memories! I was 11 at that time and watched out on the news from start to finish. I was so very proud to be an American! This documentary is great and well done! A must see for everyone!
In this game you really have to want it!! You obviously wanted it enough!!! I watched this documentary the other night on the NASATV website..they were so so helpful in giving me the correct time zone that it was going to be shown and the exact link for the documentary - and i saw it without any hitches at all - only snag was it was 1am here in the UK, but worth the wait!!
@MadeInOregon27 the heat shield was for protection of the capsule during reentry. he said 5 miles per second, that's about the speed you need to stay in orbit, around 18,000 mph
Would love to have something to do with rocket science!! Like helping to develop computer systems/database software for European Space Agency ESA - maybe we might get an Euro-nought into orbit....well we can but dream!!!
@rperez327 I say congrats to someone for taking up Aerospace engineering...or any engineering discipline for that matter. My Dad was a chemical engineer - he had a PHD in Chemical Technology and a degree in Chemical Engineering. He was a maths genious - probably i'd say in the top 2% in the UK. But even he said so few youngsters take up engineering ...because of the mathematical content. I'm a software engineer and my maths has improved as a result of the studying -
It's amazing to think that the tiny laptop that I'm posting this from has hundreds of times the computing power than was involved in the whole Friendship project. It's also pretty amazing that the whole thing was a product of Nazi scientists and parts adapted from nuclear weapons. It makes my mind reel that so much malice and hatred lead to one of mankind's greatest moments.
I know you have a comparatively big budget for things like this, but that was one of the best short documentaries I've ever seen. Thanks NASA.

The nation needed this. Simply astounding.

That's why I love America.
Got pretty choked up @ 11:00. Can you imagine the euphoria that you'd feel to be there?

John Glenn 1921-2016 RIP John
BESIDES MY UNCLE JOHNNY JOHN IS THE MOST INSPERATIONL MAN TO ME
John Glenn is amazing astronaut🇺🇸💕👑
just amazing!!! truly an inspiration john glenn!!! luv frm india!!!
are you alive?
Great video.
I didn't thought I would watch the whole vid. :)
Great video indeed.

Amazing!
SEMPERFI BIG JOHN
Great to know
godspeed John Glen RIP
God Speed John Glenn
Boy is like to meet him
