It was the first manned orbital mission to exceed 24 hours and was the last time an American launched into space alone as the next spacecraft from the upcoming Project Gemini had two astronauts. #aviation #aviationlovers #avgeek #ProjectMercury #MercuryAtlas #space #spaceflight #NASA #USAF #Avgeekery #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge
