Bildinfo

• Knapp über der Grenze zum Weltraum: die Aufnahme entstand aus einer Höher von maximal 200 km. So ähnlich ist der Blick auch aus einer Höhe von 100 km. Man sieht als dunkelblau schimmernden Rand um die Erde die Atmosphäre.
  

• Originalbeschriftung: On May 5, 1961, astronaut Alan B. Shepard, Jr. had a view of Earth that no American had seen before, looking down on the home planet from the Freedom 7 Mercury capsule on his history-making suborbital flight. The 15 minute flight lifted him to an altitude of over 116 miles and a maximum speed of 5,134 miles per hour. During the flight, Shepard reported seeing the outlines of the west coast of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, along with Florida's Lake Okeechobee.
