Episode description as stored

In the late 1950s, the United States found itself trailing in the Space Race as the Soviet Union achieved one milestone after another. In response, NASA launched Project Mercury, an ambitious effort to put an American into space using little more than experimental rockets, cramped capsules, and sheer determination. Explosions, near disasters, and political pressure surrounded every mission, yet the program would lay the foundation for landing humans on the Moon. Learn more about the Mercury Program and America's first manned space flights on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
