Scott Carpenter, a dynamic pioneer of
modern exploration, has the unique distinction of being the first human ever to
penetrate both inner and outer space, thereby acquiring the dual title,
Astronaut/Aquanaut.
Welcome to
my web site. As one of only two remaining Original Mercury Seven
astronauts [along with John Glenn], I hope that this site gives people of all
ages some insight into the early manned space program of the late 1950's into
the 1960's and how we approached the great unknown of the time. It is my
pleasure to share these memories with you. Enjoy your trip with me.

M. Scott Carpenter
As a point in history, May 24, 2010 marked
the 48th anniversary of the flight of Aurora 7. We've been busy with the 40th anniversary events of the moon
landings. Let's not forget what got us to the moon in the first
place. We built on the shoulders of Mercury.
Listen to Cmdr. Carpenter's radio interview on KCBQ, discussing his
flight, his days at NASA and afterwards on the
multimedia page about the flight of Aurora
7 and his days as an astronaut and an aquanaut.
