Cooper was a pioneer astronaut. Cool, calm, and relaxed, but under that exterior was an extremely intelligent engineer and avitator. The Right Stuff does not show that side.
I have the radio description of this launch if you ever want to marry it to the video. I vividly recall seeing the launch just before heading to school at 8:04 a.m. EST.
@altfactor At the present time I don't have the "live" TV launch footage but it must be out there somewhere. If I do find it I will inform you! Someone might have it and post it up on UT...you never know!

Is there any chance we might see (although in black-and-white) kinescopes of TV footage of this launch??
