  • Gus Grissombecame the second American astronaut to go into space as he piloted theMercury 4capsuleLiberty Bell 7following his launch from Cape Canaveral at 7:20 a.m. From lift-off to reentry, operational sequences were similar to those of the first crewed suborbital flight,Mercury 3.Grissom reached a peak altitude of 118 miles (190 km) without attaining orbit, then descended in his capsule by parachute, withsplashdown303 statute miles downrange from Cape Canaveral at 7:36. Grissom's flight experience was similar toAlan Shepard's in that there was a 5-minute period ofweightlessness,and neither reported any ill effects. He also found it easy to manually control hisspacecraft attitude.Grissom narrowly escaped drowning when the explosive escape hatch opened prematurely while he was awaiting a helicopter to rescue him, but he escaped and swam to safety. TheLiberty Bell 7capsule sank after filling with water.[4][81][82]Although a helicopter managed to secure the capsule and attempted to lift it, the weight of the water added 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) to the load. The $5,000,000Mercury spacecraftwas cut loose and sank to the bottom of the ocean, and would not be found until May 1999.[83][84]Grissom almost drowned when water filled his suit, and a 10-foot (3.0 m) longsharkwas observed in the water soon after his rescue.

Kennedy then announced, "We have another sober responsibility. To recognize the possibilities of nuclear war in the missile age, without our citizens knowing what they should do and where they should go if bombs begin to fall, would be a failure of responsibility." To that end, he would ask Congress for funding to identify and stock "fallout sheltersin case of attack "and upgrade an emergency warning system, adding that" In the event of an attack, the lives of those families which are not hit in a nuclear blast and fire can still be saved--if they can be warned to take shelter and if that shelter is available. "[97][98]"It was nearly a presidential proclamation of a national emergency," one author would note later, "with the unmistakable implication that nuclear war might be imminent."[99]
