wally schirra r.i.p.

another one of the mercury seven is laid to rest. one of my greatest dreams was to go into space, but with my ears i can't even handle a transatlantic flight. i have, however, followed the space programme of the usa since i watched the last apollo rocket lift off from my grandparents' living room tv. well you know what i mean :-) i remember that it was delayed, and they decided to show the film 'to sir with love' and my grandmother said it was ok to watch it because 'lulu is a very nice girl'.
