Updated biography now posted on the "About Scott" page effective May 1, 2012 written by Cmdr. Carpenter

 

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
