DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this spellbinding account of an historic but troubled orbital mission, noted space historian Colin Burgess takes us back to an electrifying time in American history, when intrepid pioneers were launched atop notoriously unreliable rockets at the very dawn of human space exploration. A nation proudly and collectively came to a standstill on the day this mission flew; a day that will be forever enshrined in American spaceflight history. On the morning of February 20, 1962, following months of frustrating delays, a Marine Corps war hero and test pilot named John Glenn finally blazed a path into orbit aboard a compact capsule named Friendship 7. The book’s tension-filled narrative faithfully unfolds through contemporary reports and the personal recollections of astronaut John Glenn, along with those closest to the Friendship 7 story, revealing previously unknown facts behind one of America’s most ambitious and memorable pioneering space missions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn February 20, 1962. John Glenn Jr. became the first American to orbit the Earth and set the stage for all of NASA's future human spaceflight programs to orbit; culminating in the landing on the Moon. Experiences that are taken for granted today were at the time revelations to NASA; capturing his initial thoughts and observations was deemed critical.While onboard the rescue ship Noa and over the next two days on Grand Turk, Glenn recorded his thoughts on a tape recorder and answered questions during a NASA debriefing. Beginning with a narrative account of the flight and covering a chronological review of the flight from pre-launch entering the capsule through recovery, Glenn relates his experiences during his three-orbit flight as well as his training and the design of his pressure suit and capsule. These ultimately would be used to aid in the writing of the official NASA post-launch report. Inside is his story, told to us in his own words. Includes a number of rare photos including from the USS Noa.
