Space Adventures #43
Space Adventures #43 Seven men—including Commander Alan B. Shepard, Lt. Col. John Glenn, and Captain Virgil Grissom—are selected from hundreds of volunteers for Project Mercury, a special training program to prepare America's most highly trained pilots for space flight. After undergoing intensive training, the astronauts begin their missions, with one achieving a successful rocket launch that reaches 100,000 feet and beyond, witnessed by crowds across the United States celebrating this achievement for American space exploration.
