RIP Wally Shirra, and thanks for everything.....

Amen.

Those guys in the early stages of the program really did have the right
stuff. The definition of "spam in a can" really applies, as those were
really "cans," and mighty thin cans, at that.

Every time I see how those early spacecraft were constructed, it amazes me
that any sane person would put themselves into one, and blast off into
space.
