Anybody know who that guy "Bob" is? The bald guy behind the speaker.

Wally Schirra didn't give his name (and briefly points that out under his breath when Gus Grissom starts talking). Well, this was recorded on April 9 1959, which means Wally was 36!

@whyteay ..which I might add is a year younger than me so it's nothing to be ashamed of!

Very nice but you might want to watch the editing. The man at the end sort of got cut off, and, at the beginning, it sort of sounded like Alan Shepard started in the middle of one of his answers. Thanks for posting this though.
