Having lived in Huntsville for all of my young life, I remember the test firings well. From our house, I could see the engines being tested. Our house has the cracks to prove it. I made certain to buy the commemorative GI Joe astronaut because I think I learned more from reading the back panel that explained about the Mercury rockets.

An interesting fact, I understand that one person interested in making artificial joints for humans , took apart the joints in a Barbie & figured out an idea for similar joints for fingers in people....for that contribution alone the world should be behind the continuation of Barbie type dolls instead of making stupid comments about them. Kind of like all the good stuff that has come out of the space program. People have no idea of the contributions to science & medicine alone ...that have come from the space program , not to mention food ideas & packaging, corning ware & even toys. I read an article which went on forever of the things now used , that came from the space program...wish I'd saved it, it was a real eye opener. Pat H. in Al.
