We Had A Lot Of Confidence That There Was Going To Be A Successful Mission. We Weren't Off On Some Suicide Effort, Certainly [with Friendship 7].

I Don't Like The Way The Whole Thing Has Developed. And I Just Hope That We Develop Our Own Transportation System, Both Spacecraft And New Boosters, As Soon As Possible. I Hate To Think That We May Be Out There Seven To Ten Years Out And Dependent On The Russians For Our Journey Into Space.

We Thought That The Odds Of Things Working Ok Were Up In The Upper 90 Percent Or We Wouldn't Have Gone. But The - There Were Some Problems Cropped Up On The Flight But Was Able To Take Care Of Those Ok And - Although They Were Things That We Hadn't Really Trained That Much For. But It Was The Time Of The Cold War And So There Were Was A Lot Of Pressure On The - To Get Going And The Russians Were Claiming That They Were - Soviets Were Claiming They Were Ahead Of Us In Technology.
