The launch of Mercury-Atlas 6 (Friendship 7). Onboard is astronaut John Glenn on the first American manned orbital spaceflight - February 20th 1962. This clip starts at T-15 and ends with Glenn achieving orbit.
Happy 50th Anniversary to the good people of NASA and first man in orbit, John Glenn! I hope we can recapture the spirit of the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle programs and reassume the mantle of the world's greatest spacefaring nation!
