One of the seven original Right Stuff astronauts, Scott Carpenter was the fourth American in space and the second to orbit the earth. After the Mercury Project, he went on to explore the oceans, commanding the underwater teams of the U.S. Navy's SeaLab II program. For Spacious Skies tells of the exciting early days of NASA, details of the pioneering science, training, and biomedicine of early space flights - and Carpenter's own account of his famous space flight aboard Aurora 7.
