Go For Launch Mercury Look Mom, No Wings!

Screenshots from the ultimate in aviation coming out of the second world war into the 60's, John Glenn orbiting the earth in Friendship Seven and remembering that he did it again in the Space Shuttle.  He most certainly had, "The Right Stuff", still the best comedy-drama I feel i ever saw....

This is most amazing, John. I have never seen anything like this before in our flightsim. Is this XP11 and if yes, how did you manage? 😉

It is "Go For Launch Mercury", not an expensive sim, it is more of a nostalgia sim and for me given its low price, a great way to reflect and relax...  I think of this song (Elton's Rocket Man or Bowie's Space Oddity) every time I think of those who got the joy of being weightless and still do, in the case of the ISS, from the 60's up to hopefully will become more manned flights from US soil late this year or next....
