Saw a reminder that Glenn was the last of the Mercury 7 to pass away. Such an amazing group of guys. Al, Gus, John, Wally, Scott, Gordo and Deke (did that from memory!). Here they are in survival training prior to their mission.

Thanks for that shot! Looks like an iPhone on one of them.

I was thinking along the same lines this afternoon when I listened to a story about him on NPR. “The right stuff” became a cliche, but they truly were a remarkable group of men. My wife’s father was a mechanical engineer during that era. White shirts, neckties and slide rules and chalkboards.

That’s a signal mirror, common survival kit item.

A true hero, he kind of personifies the American dream IMO. He did it all.
