Space Race KSP - Mercury-Atlas 6 - Making History

Mercury-Atlas 6 was the mission that sent John Glenn into space, aboard Friendship 7, atop an Atlas LV-3B. In this legendary flight 'the super sonic man', John Glenn, became the first American to reach Earth orbit.

I'd never recreated this mission before and I know a lot of my viewers have been waiting eagerly for this. Since the last few videos have gone really well I decided to rebuild my Atlas just for this series. I spent 12 man hours researching and re-building in the VAB. I then spent a further 36 man hours making the video, which is about twice as long as it would normally take me, so I hope you guys really enjoy it :)

I didn't plan to add as much historical video to this as I did however quite a few of you requested slightly longer videos and since Jeff Quitney has some really good videos on this subject I decided to splice as much of it in as I dared. In fact all of the historical footage used for this mission came form this one video.
