On April 9th, 1959, Malcolm Scott Carpenter was announced by NASA as being one of seven astronauts chosen for Project Mercury. At Cape Canaveral in Florida a year later, Carpenter boarded the Aurora 7 spacecraft and circled Earth three times. On the eve of his historic journey, Carpenter’s father, Marion, wrote him a letter.
None other than British astronaut Tim Peake joined us to read this poignant letter at an Earth Day edition of Letters Live in support of Greenpeace, at London's Royal Albert Hall.
