The first American to go into space, May 5, 1961. He'll always have that distinction. A decade later, walked on the moon.
An exciting period in the history of exploration.

Bravo to Alan Shepard and all he did for the US space program. It was an exciting time when space travel was in the news and man landed on the moon. I remember it well and it always gave me pride.
