Most
people take the idea of
manned space flight for
granted. But during the
late fifties and early
sixties, the idea of man
traveling in space was
a new and challenging
idea to be conquered.
In the early days of the
space program engineers
knew very little about
the effects of space travel
and reentry into the atmosphere
on the human body. NASA
researcher Dr. Max Faget
came up with a revolutionary
design that helped launch
America into the space
age. Destination tomorrow
spoke with Dr. Max Faget
about his earlier days
inside NASA's space program.
