Alan Shepard became the first American in space when the Freedom 7 spacecraft blasted off from Florida on May 5, 1961. Ten years later, Shepard would leave Earth's atmosphere again to become the fifth man to walk on the moon â and the first one to play golf there.
John Glenn, the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth, went on to serve in the U.S. Senate and returned to space later in life But a more serious problem soon developed. Telemetry from Friendship 7 indicated the capsuleâs heat shield and a compressed shock-absorbing landing bag were no longer firmly locked in place at the base of the spacecraft.
