Description
Gordon Cooper (1927-2004) completed his 22.5 orbit flight in the <em>Faith 7</em> Mercury spacecraft by manually landing in the Pacific Ocean on May 16, 1963, closer than any other flight had landed with reference to the recovery ship. A dehydrated Cooper, still in <em>Faith 7</em>, is seen after the recovery aboard the aircraft carrier USS <em>Kearsarge</em>. Cooper not only set a record of staying in space for over 34 hours, but he would prove a trained pilot was an important ingredient in space flight.
