        And by charting the stars, using lines he drew on the capsule window, and looking at his watch, he manually set his craft's pitch angle for retro fire & reentry - best damn pilot you ever saw.

        I remember that spaceflight quite well. I had just gotten off a troopship upon returning from duty in Korea. TV coverage of Gordon Cooper's flight was interesting. I also found everyday life in the U.S. interesting and quite different from being in the U.S. Army in Korea.

        That silver Mercury pressure suit was subdued compared to Cooper's fashion sense in the '70s.pic.twitter.com/WZXWqutRFo

        I remember it well. I broke my arm that morning, playing a game of our own invention which combined elements of basketball and karate.

        That’s funny I didn’t know his independent velocity was near 90% of the Speed of Electromagnetic Radiation😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 So Time Life was an unprofessional Illuminati propagandist mouthpiece even then

        Whatever happened to that Discovery Show where that friend of his goes searching for Cooper's treasure?
