Fifty years ago today, May 24, 1962 astronaut Scott Carpenter launched in his Aurora 7 capsule. This was the fourth manned mission and the second orbital flight of the Mercury program. This video celebrates the Aurora 7 flight, which successfully made three Earth orbits. But a targeting mishap during reentry took the spacecraft about 400 km (250 miles) off course, delaying recovery of Carpenter and the capsule. Carpenter was picked up after nearly 3 hours in the water, and the Mercury capsule was not retrieved until about 6 hours later.

Interesting when they say the spacecraft is placed upon an Atlas D rocket, they show a Redstone booster
I was there… My school, Coconut Grove Elementary, decided to show all of the early space launches on TV in our classrooms. So cool as a child to watch those small black and white images… Walter Chronkite and others moderation. Then… the MIRACLE of spaceflight. Dang… those were a heady time! And so are THESE! Ho! Lets GO!
