He lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. J. L. pickering lives in Bloomington, Illinois. He is a space-flight historian who has been archiving rare space im- ages and historic artifacts for some forty years. Spaceshots and Snapshots of Projects Mercury and Gemini A Rare Photographic History John Bisney & J. L. pickering he race to space between the United States and the Soviet Union captured the pop- Tular imagination. On April 12, 1961, the USSR launched cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on a one-orbit flight, making him the first human in space. Three weeks later, American astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. flew 116 miles above Earth before splashing down in the Bahamas. Over the next twenty years astronauts emerged as national heroes. This book tells the story of the people and events of Projects Mercury and Gemini with hundreds of unpublished and rare photographs—both color and black-and-white. Unlike other publications, which illustrate the space race with well-known and easily accessible images, this history draws from the authors’ private library of over one hundred thou- sand (and growing) high-quality photos of the early U.S. manned-space program. Col- lected over a lifetime from public and private sources—including NASA archives, fellow 4 university of new mexico press 800–249–7737 collectors, retired NASA and news photographers, and auction houses—the images doc- ument American space missions of the Cold War era more comprehensively than ever before. Devoting a chapter to each flight, the authors also include detailed descriptions, providing new insight into one of America’s greatest triumphs. “A wonderful collection of rarely seen photographs that true space buffs will enjoy. The captions are worth their weight in space-fact gold.” —RiChARD W.
