The Flight of Aurora 7 as told in 1994 by the Astronauts themselves.

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, 2012 will mark the 50th 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 that was recorded on the 48th anniversary of his flight.
