About this title

Synopsis

Schirra, who participated in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, recounts his life and career as an astronaut

From the Author

Navy Captains do not mutiny,crews might
Too often I have been accused of a "mutiny" during the Apollo 7 mission. First I was on loan to NASA from the U.S.Navy,no Naval officer gave me an order during the mission. When one has command, orders that are not compatible with on board crew safety,may be rejected by the C.O. The flight directors made some mistakes that we noted. The final comment, in relation to all of the missions flown in space, no flight director ever risked his life.
