    Based on the number of interruptions in this video Scott Carpenter seems like a popular guy. Thanks for posting this.

    A great interview with astronaut Scott Carpenter. He was both an Astronaut and an Aquanaut and wanted to be remembered that way. I love his connection with Jacques Cousteau who I am also an admirer of as a Scuba Diver ("Aquanaut") myself.

    May 1962... awaiting a bespoke Breitling Navitimer chronograph
    62 years ago US Navy aviator NASA astronaut Malcolm Scott Carpenter was ready for the MA-7 “Aurora 7″ Mercury spaceflight mission. Six months earlier he requested Breitling to make a custom Navitimer chronograph with larger bezel and 24 hours dial, a wrist watch he wanted to use as a backup timing instrument during his flight. The Breitling Navitimer "Cosonaute" arrived just in time on May 20, 1962 to be used on Aurora 7 !

    This is a spectacular interview I learned so much about Carpenter things I would have never guessed in a million years. Even though he’s no longer with us, this is a solid piece good on you for not finding it but sharing it with all of us.

    Great series but what a shame they’re interrupted by commercials. I thought programming like this was designated “educational” and was thus exempt from commercial interruption. After all, this is our heritage. It seems cheapened or tainted to be subject to commercialism. There are no ad pages in textbooks.

    Didn't Carpenter do something that had NASA prohibiting him from flying again?

      Doing a poor job on his flight.

      @@kyleburnett4795 He achieved all of his mission objectives, he was just easily distracted during the flight. The so-called drama between Carpenter and the NASA admin is mostly a later invention.
      What really happened was he was re-assigned by the Navy to the Sealab project at his own request.

      Did you even watch the video? He explains it in detail.

    To bad Scott didn't live until the present, where we are preparing to go back to the moon.

    The most boring astronaut oral history of them all.

      Funny, I found it the most fascinating. Not your typical rah-rah stuff that we hear all the time. Scott is a much more introspective and inquisitive man. An explorer pilot among just test pilots.

      I don't understand your comment. I thought it was a very fascinating interview and he expressed himself very articulately. One of the best of the series of interviews, I thought. I found it most interesting that he was both an astronaut and and aquanaut.
