Radio Relay To Europe Of Space Flight
Millions of Europeans crowded around their radios to hear Alan B. Shepard Jr. and his rocket journey to space and back. The United States’ achievement drew Western European admiration though Gagarin’s orbit three weeks earlier tempered the edge. Radio stations relayed the Cape Canaveral launch and landing while Japan interrupted broadcasts to announce the feat. Britain’s Kenneth J. Carter of the British Interplanetary Society praised the American approach as open and inclusive, contrasting it with Soviet secrecy. West Germany issued the first governmental greeting, with Bonn stating Konrad Adenauer’s government congratulates the Americans on this technical and scientific accomplishment.
