a lot of credit goes to the Appolo guys, and rightfully so, but those early guys, well, they were sorta of the real trailblazers, were they not?

Strela,
Just FYI - Wally was an Original Sigma 7 member AND both a Gemini and an Apollo member - only one to fly all three series of missions.:-!:-!:-!

I's my nickname.
Now I'm honoured to carry this in his honor and remember.
A great man.
