RIP Scott Carpenter
Last but one of those who had The Right Stuff...
Quote:
Scott Carpenter, one of the last surviving members of the Mercury 7 - Nasa's first group of astronauts - has died aged 88, his family has announced.
In 1962 Mr Carpenter became the second American to orbit the earth, piloting the Aurora 7 spacecraft through three revolutions of the earth.
After retiring in 1969 he took up oceanographic activities.
John Glenn, who flew the first orbital mission, is the last surviving member of the Mercury team.
Scott Carpenter's wife, Patty Barrett, said her husband had suffered complications following a stroke in September and died in a Denver hospice.
