The "Go For 7 Orbits" indicated the capsule's capability to keep Glenn alive, should sudden bad weather in the prime splashdown area force him to stay in space longer than the three scheduled orbits.
I was also the most-watched event in the history of American television to that point. Some 85 million people saw the blast-off live.
