On this week's episode, the Project Mercury astronauts react to Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbiting the earth, reigniting American fears about Commies in Space that also erupted after the Sputnik launch. Alan Shepard makes a suborbital flight, becoming the first American in space. Of course, Russian scientists are very dismissive of the American flight, loudly wondering if a suborbital flight counts as a space flight.
