Experience Mercury
The development of the Programme Mercury resulted more from political dispute than scientific intentions. In the course of the Cold War, after the launch of Soviet satellite Sputnik 1, the U.S. government accelerated its progam Astronaut. The development of the Mercury spacecraft was the first step to set in motion the Apollo project, whose goal was to make a trip to the moon landing astronauts on the natural satellite and return safely to Earth, as expressed wish of the then U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
