  • I remember watching on CSPAN the NASA memorial service for Shepard.  His astronaut colleagues told some great stories. Jim Lovell said he asked Al how much his Corvette cost. Shepard said "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

  • How did he get those huge balls inside that little capsule?

  • @FatFreddy88 Why is it these idiot ideas perpetuate themselves. Because people have insecurities that do not allow them to believe that anything is possible. The same people that say the holocaust never happened. Probably Hiroshima never happened. Maybe all of WWII never happened. The Apollo 11 conspiracy theories have all been very successfully debunked. You guys probably have posters of bigfoot in your rooms too.

  • A true American hero... as were all of our courageous "Mercury 7" astronauts.

  • That was a true Mens-man!
