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.

Thanks, Michael. Because of MOTUS and his minions, I had forgotten what it felt like to be proud to be an American. Who knew?
