John Glenn

I've always been partial to Buzz Aldrin.....

John Glenn

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.

“The clock is operating, and I feel fine.”

Neil Armstrong

Neil Armstrong

Story Musgrave!

Neil Armstrong

Jim Lovell

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." )

John Glenn.

Another one for Neil Armstrong

Jim Lovell

Alan Shepard

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 .

Neil Armstrong

Alan Shepard. It takes brass balls to go first.

John Young, only man to walk on the Moon and command a Shuttle mission.

Gus Grissom

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