I noted from the TV news reports that Mr. Melville was wearing only a
flight suit and an oxygen mask (no full or partial pressure suit). Does anyone know whether the cockpit was pressurized? If not (and even if so) this was pretty risky. Jim Thomas While Glenn and Shephard are plenty brave men for their rocket rides, that old man today (63 and as old as my older brother) brought it in and landed by hand using his eyes and brains to put it on the numbers. It was a wonder to behold. Next time, though, I want to see if fromt he side instead of looking straight up so I can get a sense of the trajectory.
