Mercury 7



Group photo of the "Mercury 7" after being selected as the first astronauts in 1959. One of the requirements they had to meet was to be under 5'-11" tall. You can clearly see why in this photo.

Left to right: Wally Schirra, John Glenn, Deke Slayton, Gus Grissom, Alan Shepard, Scott Carpenter & Gordon Cooper.
