Aurora 7
TO A NATION enthralled by the heroic exploits of the Mercury astronauts, the launch of Lt. Cmdr. Scott Carpenter on NASA’s second orbital space flight was a renewed cause for pride, jubilation and celebration.

In fact, it had been a very close call. Completely out of fuel and forced to manually guide Aurora 7 through the frightening inferno of re-entry, Carpenter brought the Mercury spacecraft down to a safe splashdown in the ocean. In doing so, he contro...

Aesthetics of Fraudulence in Nineteenth-Century France
In his engagingly written and original book, Scott Carpenter analyzes multiple manifestations of the false in nineteenth-century France.
