The pioneer astronauts who took America into space tell their
personal stories about the challenges they faced -- their fears,
joys, friendships, and successes.
Chosen from hundreds of crackerjack pilots for their fitness,
intelligence, and courage, the original Mercury Seven astronauts
risked their lives to cross the space frontier. In "We Seven, "
they take readers behind the scenes to show them their training,
technology, and teamwork, and to share personal stories, including
the lighter moments of their mission. They bring readers inside the
Mercury program -- even into the space capsules themselves. "We
Seven" straps you in with the astronauts and rockets you along for
the ride.
Share Alan Shepard's exhilaration as he breaks through the
earth's atmosphere. Endure moments of panic with Gus Grissom when
his hatch blows, stranding him in the open sea. Race with John
Glenn as he makes split-second life-or-death maneuvers during
reentry, and feel his relief when he emerges safe but drenched with
sweat.
Despite such heroism, Project Mercury was more than the story of
individual missions. It defined the manned space flight program to
come, from Gemini through Apollo. In "We Seven, " America's
original astronauts tell us firsthand -- as only they can -- about
the space program they pioneered, and share with us the hopes and
dreams of the U.S. at the dawn of a new era.
