Summary

Description
English: Launching of flight Mercury-Redstone 3 (MR-3), the first U.S. manned space flight, from Cape Canaveral on May 5, 1961, on a sub-orbital mission. (The NASA archive misidentifies this photo as the Mercury-Redstone 2 launch, but the presence of the "cherry picker", used as an emergency exit for the astronaut before liftoff, indicates a human pilot.)
