Family, friends come out for special Project Mercury reunion

Those in attendance say many memories were shared.

Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States, running from 1958 to 1963. It aimed to put a man into orbit around the Earth and investigate the ability of humans to function in space. The recent Project Mercury reunion brought together family and friends of those involved in the program, allowing them to reminisce and share stories from this historic time in space exploration.

Family, friends, and colleagues gathered to celebrate the achievements of Project Mercury and honor the individuals who played a role in this groundbreaking mission. The reunion was a special opportunity for those connected to the program to come together and reflect on the impact of their work. Memories were shared, and bonds were strengthened as attendees remembered the challenges and triumphs of the Mercury program.
