Action Pilot Astronaut

"When I was recruited into the G.I. Joe's fighters pilot training program, I had no idea the job would lead me into space! After my training and the success I achieved flying high-tech jets. I became one of the first men assigned for duty in the Mercury series of U.S. manned space flights. A 3,000 lb. Mercury capsule was my home for 31 hours as I orbited the Earth more than 20 times. It was a job where I had to be a pilot, a research scientist, and a pioneering explorer all at the same time, and it was the most thrilling challenge a pilot could ever undertake."
