I just got both the BD and DVD set to give away yesterday. They seriously look amazing and I'm quite sad I have to give them away, but my loss can be your gain!

Had the GI Joe Mercury capsule that came with the shiny silver suit and helmet that actually plugged into the capsule!

I played the red plastic 45 of audio from the Friendship 7 mission over and over till I could recite it from memory.

Alan Shepard, the first American in space, who made his voyage when so very many of the variables of space travel were unknown: the effects of weightlessness, radiation, reentry, takeoff acceleration. His spaceshot was truly a crap shoot--well-calculated within the limits of the technology of his time--but a huge risk, nonetheless. His courage turned questions into answers and forged the path for all subsequent American space missions. To this nine-year-old boy, his adventure pointed the way to a future of limitless possibility.

Ten years later, after a bout with a health issue and corrective surgery, he actively returned to the space program as commander of a moon mission and walked on the lunar surface in 1971. So he spanned the birth and the maturity of America's great space decade.

(Plus, he was the creator of the legendary Shepard's prayer, "Please, dear God, don't let me f* up." )

For me it's Buzz Aldrin. I feel he's always been underrated compared to that other guy who also went to the moon (can't remember his name ). And he's had an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus named after him, can't get any better than that .

Never go out with anyone who thinks Fellini is a type of cheese

Gotta go with Alan Shepard. Like others said, it takes a pair of big ones to go first.

For me, it's Gus Grissom. Grissom took a lot of heat after the loss of the Liberty Bell 7, but he stood his ground and was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing. His fortitude led to improvements in the spacecraft that followed.

Probably because I'm just a tad too young and also grew up more or less outside of the American mainstream to be so strongly affected by the likes of Glenn, Armstrong, et al w/out the aid of a relatively recent, inspiring film like Apollo 13.

Just another amateur learning to paint w/ "the light of the world".

Christa McAuliffe. Some might say she wasn't an astronaut, but I've always considered her one. As a teacher myself, she inspired me greatly. I still remember watching the Challenger explosion and crying when I was in middle school.
