Project Mercury Stretches Its Legs

If you can do something three times, doing it three more times doesn't sound like it should be that hard.  Unless, of course, you're talking about orbiting the planet. In this episode we take a look at the third Project Mercury manned orbital flight - which doubled the number of orbits from 3 to 6 and we talk about why that was a lot more work for the Project Mercury Terranauts than you might have expected.
