Today, at the age of 88, Scott Carpenter passed away.
Scott Carpenter was one of the "Original Seven", that led America into the space age. Not knowing about space what we know now he was one of the very few people who had the guts to sit on top of a rocket, blasting him into the great unknown. He was the fourth American in space, after Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom and John Glenn.
Rest in peace Mr. Carpenter and godspeed.
