Thanks for the post Bugman. Gus Grissom was my favorite astronaut when I was a kid following these guys and their adventures.

I knew you would be interested. The Mercury program is part of the Golden Age of NASA, and people of our generation were around to see it unfold.

Thanks for the update, Bugman. As I checked out your link I noticed an article about Comet ISON. Several good pictures about this comet, and people might want to view it before the sun rises.

Glad you enjoyed it Carl. We are under solid cloud cover for the next three or four days so I'm out of luck on the comet.

Yes, to old folks like us it was an exciting time, highlighted by the first moon landing in July 1969. Thanks for the link, Bugman. 😀

In school we had to remember the names of the Original 7 Astronauts.
