Liberty Bell 7 - Full Mission

The full launch and flight of Mercury-Redstone 4 (Liberty Bell 7) with astronaut Gus Grissom aboard. July 21st 1961. I have used some original braodcast video, stock footage and Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator sequences to show the mission as best I can. Audio is the NASA tapes of the Mercury Control Center Capcom Alan Shepard and Gus with John Powers' commentary used at the end of the flight. The reason not to include Powers' commentary is because of the conflict it caused when played with the other audio. Powers' audio is available at the NASA audio archive. All footage and photos are courtesy NASA.
