[Mercury Atlas 6] The first American in orbit John Glenn on the trip to the pad for launch. NASA, 20 February 1962. Printed 1962. Vintage gelatin silver print on fiber-based paper [NASA image S-62–222]. 20.3×25.4 cm (8×10 in), numbered “S-62–222” in black in top margin, with NASA caption on the verso (NASA HeadQuarters, Washington, D.C.). Leaving the crew quarters at Hangar S at Cape Canaveral on February, 20 1962 John Glenn in full pressure silver space suit is on his way to board the Friendship 7 capsule mated to the Atlas rocket at Launch Complex 14 just prior to becoming the first American in orbit. John Glenn’s Friendship 7 mission truly marked the beginning of NASA’s ventures into space, 10 months after the first human orbital spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin in Vostok 1 (12 April 1961). Following the trail blazed by Gagarin, John Glenn rode an Atlas booster into Earth orbit. His success was a blaze of glory for the American public, whose adulation approached that given to Charles Lindbergh following his solo transatlantic flight in 1927. (Chaikin, Space, p. 29 and p. 43). Condition Slight curling, excellent condition.
