Junior Spacemen Sam Kopp and Mark Vandervender, both 14, completed a 16 day inner space mission in a plywood eight by eight foot capsule in Orlando. They compared their run to the real Apollo 8 mission as it launched from Cape Kennedy. They ate cold canned food, enjoyed a Christmas steak, and prepared to return to school amid some discomfort in the ankles and a brief illness. The capsule leaked in rain but the youths described the voyage as a success despite the makeshift setup.
