Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 16, 2012

I believe it was Mercury 7.

let’s not forget Ham

Grissom did receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor (posthumously)

It was the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission aboard the spacecraft named Freedom 7.

So, do you lay the sticks of dynamite on top of the carcass, underneath it, or do you have to insert them within for maximum effect?

Glenn was the only Marine of the Mercury 7. Carpenter was in the Navy along with Shepard and Schirra. The other three were USAF. They were kinda into political correctness even then: 3 Navy, 3 AF, 1 Marine – the Army having no jet test pilots to try out it seems.

Virgil Ivan Grissom (April 3, 1926 – January 27, 1967), (Lt Col, USAF), better known as Gus Grissom, was one of the original NASA Project Mercury astronauts and a United States Air Force pilot. He was the second American to fly in space, and the first member of the NASA Astronaut Corps to fly in space twiceOn July 21, 1961, Grissom was pilot of the second Project Mercury flight, Mercury-Redstone 4, popularly known as Liberty Bell 7. This was a suborbital flight which lasted 15 minutes and 37 seconds.

Hopefully TSA will catch that horse before it gets through boarding.

I’ve heard of beating a dead horse, but this is ridiculous.

Just one inserted as a suppository should do the trick.

An explosion might destroy ‘the body of evidence’!

As the light bulb turns on in my head, Glenn’s spaceflight was named Friendship 7.
