[simpits-tech] Kansas Cosmosphere

[Cris Harrison]

Guys,
I have copy of NASA pub "Results of the First United States Manned Orbital
Space Flight; February 20, 1962
It has notes on
the voice log between the capsule and the cape
a detailed description of all the systems
and other cool things,
I think my dad bought it for me, I was a electronics rat of 12, and has
aero $6.50 on the first page penciled in.
my dad worked for RCA Astro in Hightstown NJ back then...

Any Landing you can walk away from is a good landing!
