Episode description
When we left Project Mercury they had finally managed to have a successful orbital flight. All of the technologies, techniques and procedures had been tested. The global tracking network was in place. There was only one thing left to do. Put an astronaut in the capsule and get him into orbit... and bring him home, of course. In this episode of a Terranauts Guide To Leaving The Planet, NASA finally makes it to the big leagues - getting to orbit and setting a course for the moon.
