Our first manned suborbital flight.
I recently saw a motion picture containing footage taken at night. I was in the scene but only as a shadow in front of the arc lights. I was standing next to the cameraman and in front of the light.
At the time of this photo, I was probably asleep on my butt at the press site, as I had been up all night for several days in a row.
The only thing I remember from that morning is that when the missile ignited, someone yelled "I forgot my crayons".
