Project Mercury: The Beginning of American Human Spaceflight

Before Apollo landed astronauts on the Moon and before the Space Shuttle became a symbol of reusable spaceflight, there was Project Mercury.

Launched in 1958, Project Mercury was NASA's first human spaceflight program. Its mission was ambitious: send an American into space, achieve orbital flight, and return the astronaut safely to Earth.

The program introduced the legendary Mercury Seven astronauts, including Alan Shepard, John Glenn, and Gus Grissom, whose pioneering missions helped establish the foundation for the Gemini and Apollo programs.

In 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space. Less than a year later, John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth.

This BE@RBRICK pays tribute to that extraordinary era of exploration.
