Historical Context:
Malcolm Scott Carpenter (1925–2013) was one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts selected by NASA in 1959. He became the second American to orbit the Earth when he piloted the Aurora 7 spacecraft on May 24, 1962. His mission helped gather vital data about the effects of spaceflight on the human body and the operation of spacecraft systems, making it a cornerstone of early space exploration. Carpenter later served as an aquanaut in the U.S. Navy’s SEALAB program, further exemplifying his pioneering spirit. Autographs from the Mercury program are especially coveted, and signed currency adds a rare and display-worthy twist to any astronaut collection.
