"One of the [NASA] exhibits in the next section is the space craft in which Commander Shepard made the first manned American space flight. The section deals with the whole United States' manned flight program, which has as its immediate goal the development of three-man space vehicles for orbital and moon flights. The equipment and hardware used in this program--including a half size model of a proposed three-man space craft--are on display." (Century 21 Exposition. (1962).
