There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier.

Hey, Ridley, make another note here, would ya? Must be something wrong with this ol' Mach meter. Jumped plumb off the scale. Gone kinda screwy on me.
You go ahead and bust it, we'll fix it. Personally, I think you're seein' things.
Yeah, could be. But I'm still goin' upstairs like a bat outta hell.

But on that glorious day in May 1963, Gordo Cooper...
...went higher, farther, and faster...
...than any other American - 22 complete orbits around the world; he was the last American ever to go into space alone. And for a brief moment, Gordo Cooper became the greatest pilot anyone had ever seen.

Head of Program: You can't do that! The Vice President's the head of the program! You're gonna think of the broader interests of this program!  John Glenn: You are way out of line here!  Head of Program: I'm out of line?  John Glenn: YES SIR!

That is a spacecraft, sir. We do not refer to it as a "capsule."  |
