First Edition. First Printing. - - In May 24, 1962, the tiny spacecraft Aurora 7 carried Scott Carpenter into space, American history, and a lifetime of controversy. For Spacious Skies offers this Mercury astronaut's never-before-told account of life at NASA. He takes us through the mysteries of the selection process, to the desert for survival training, into the simulator, and onto the contour couch. He describes in stunning detail the flight that made him the second American to orbit the Earth. - During the early years of the space program, each mission helped determine NASA's research progress, the efficiency of its design, and its place in the race to the moon; when Aurora 7 began to malfunction, everyone at hand franrically tried to detect the cause. What was ultimately found to be a glitch in Aurora 7's pitch horizon scanner forced the astronaut to over-shoot bis expected landing site by 250 miles and later brought the decisions made during his flight under intense scrutiny. Scott Carpenter, with bis daughter, Kris Stoever, clears up all lingering questions about bis flight while telling the history of an amazing frontier family and the strength of the American pioneer spirit. - - Scott Carpenter is one of the seven original "Right Stuff" astronauts. The fourth American in space and the second to orbit the Earth, Carpenter went on after Project Mercury to participate in the U.S. Navy's pioneering Man-in-the-Sea prograrn (Sealabs I, II, and III) as an underwater explorer and researcher. He lives with his wife in New York City and in Vail, Colorado. - Kris Stoever was six years old on May 24, 1962, when her father rocketed into space.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition; First Printing. An attractive first printing of the first edition in alike dustjacket, minute traces of edge wear. Signed by astronaut and author Scott Carpenter directly on title page; Coming from a family of early Colorado pioneers, astronaut Scott Carpenter grew up with a vibrant frontier tradition of exploration. He went on to become one of seven Project Mercury astronauts to take part in America's burgeoning space program in the 1960s. Here he writes of the pioneering science, training, and biomedicine of early space flight and tells the heart-stopping tale of his famous spaceflight aboard Aurora 7. Carpenter also shares a family story of tenderness and fortitude. Raised by his grandparents in Boulder, Colorado, while his mother lay sick for years with tuberculosis, Carpenter witnessed bravery, love, sacrifice, and endurance that prepared him for life as a Navy pilot during two wars, service to country as a Mercury astronaut, and finally as a pioneering underwater explorer. Written with his daughter, Kris Stoever, For Spacious Skies tells a wonderful American family story filled with never-before-told insider tales from the earliest days of NASA and, for the first time ever, Carpenter's own account of his controversial flight and splashdown; 8vo; Signed by One Author.
