Back Up Astronaut Anxious To Go Second Space Bid In June
The New York Sunday Times reports Commander Alan Shepard will meet President Kennedy and that back up astronaut John Glenn is expected to be launched on the second Mercury Redstone flight around June 30. Glenn urged swift action after Shepard’s flight, while officials cautioned that date depends on test results.
