Shot of the 2 man Mercury capsule. According to wikipedia the Mercury program ran from 1959 - 1963 and its goal was to get a human into orbit around Earth. Mission accomplished! Thank you John Glenn.
On Friday, April 30, 2021, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey dedicated a centennial plaque and time capsule at the World Trade Center campus marking 100 years of service in the region. The time capsule contained a range of items from the past century – tokens, a toll business pass, remnants of steel from the Twin Towers, pieces of the George Washington Bridge’s old suspension cables, letters, badges, and other commemorative items.
Robert Alwell, assistant manager of payroll accounting in the agency’s comptroller’s office committed the time capsule into stone, where it will remain sealed for the next 100 years. Alwell, who joined the agency in 1965, is currently the Port Authority’s longest-serving employee with 55 years of service.

This Resurs 500 capsule was launched from Plesetsk, the former Soviet Union’s northern cosmodrome and center for polar orbit launches of mainly military satellites. On November 15, 1992, the module was launched by a Soyuz 11A511U into space. The capsule was filled with messages to the American people and promotional materials of Russian and foreign firms in connection with the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ voyage of discovery to America.
On November 22, 1992, the Resurs 500 splashed down on target and was recovered in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Washington State. [Source: www.museumofflight.org/spacecraft/resurs-500-capsule]

Early life and military service
Leonov was born on 30 May 1934 in Listvyanka, West Siberian Krai, Russian SFSR.[3] His grandfather was forced to relocate to Siberia for his role in the 1905 Russian Revolution. He was the eighth of nine surviving children born to Yevdokia née Sotnikova and Arkhip.[b][4]
In 1936, his father was arrested and declared an "enemy of the people". Leonov wrote in his autobiography: "He was not alone: many were being arrested. It was part of a conscientious drive by the authorities to eradicate anyone who showed too much independence or strength of character. These were the years of Stalin's purges. Many disappeared into remote gulags and were never seen again."[5] The family moved in with one of his married sisters in Kemerovo. His father rejoined the family in Kemerovo after he was released. He was compensated for his wrongful imprisonment.[4] Leonov used art as a way to provide more food for the family. He began his art career by drawing flowers on ovens and later painted landscapes on canvasses.[4]
The Soviet government encouraged its citizens to move to Soviet-occupied Prussia, so in 1948 his family relocated to Kaliningrad.[6] Leonov graduated from secondary school (No. 21) in 1953.[6] He applied to the Academy of Arts in Riga, Latvia, but decided not to attend due to the high tuition costs. Leonov decided to join a Ukrainian preparatory flying school in Kremenchug; he made his first solo flight in May 1955. While at same time indulging in his passion for art by studying part-time in Riga, Leonov started an advanced two-year course to become a fighter pilot at the Chuguev Higher Air Force Pilots School in the Ukrainian SSR.[6]
On 30 October 1957, Leonov graduated with an honour's degree and was commissioned a lieutenant in the 113th Parachute Aviation Regiment, part of the 10th Engineering Aviation Division of the 69th Air Army in Kiev.[6] On 13 December 1959, he married Svetlana Pavlovna a day before he moved to East Germany to his new assignment with the 294th Reconnaissance Regiment of the 24th Air Army.[6]
Soviet space programme

March 1965, the first space walk
He was one of the 20 Soviet Air Force pilots selected to be part of the first cosmonaut training group in 1960.[7] Leonov was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (the only cosmonaut who was not was Konstantin Feoktistov). His walk in space was originally to have taken place on the Voskhod 1 mission, but this was cancelled, and the historic event happened on the Voskhod 2 flight instead.[8] He was outside the spacecraft for 12 minutes and nine seconds on 18 March 1965, connected to the craft by a 4.8-metre (16 ft) tether.[7] At the end of the spacewalk, Leonov's spacesuit had inflated in the vacuum of space to the point where he could not re-enter the airlock.[7] He opened a valve to allow some of the suit's pressure to bleed off and was barely able to get back inside the capsule.[7][9] Leonov had spent eighteen months undergoing weightlessness training for the mission.[10]
In 1968, Leonov was selected to be commander of a circumlunar Soyuz 7K-L1 flight. This was cancelled because of delays in achieving a reliable circumlunar flight (only the later Zond 7 and Zond 8 members of the programme were successful) and the Apollo 8 mission had already achieved that step in the Space Race. He was also selected to be the first Soviet person to land on the Moon, aboard the LOK/N1 spacecraft.[8] This project was also cancelled. (The design required a spacewalk between lunar vehicles, something that contributed to his selection.) Leonov was to have been commander of the 1971 Soyuz 11 mission to Salyut 1, the first crewed space station, but his crew was replaced with the backup after one of the members, cosmonaut Valery Kubasov, was suspected to have contracted tuberculosis (the other member was Pyotr Kolodin).[11]
Leonov was to have commanded the next mission to Salyut 1, but this was scrapped after the deaths of the Soyuz 11 crew members, and the space station was lost.[12] The next two Salyuts (actually the military Almaz station) were lost at launch or failed soon after, and Leonov's crew stood by. By the time Salyut 4 reached orbit, Leonov had been switched to a more prestigious project.[13][14]

Leonov's second trip into space was as commander of Soyuz 19, the Soviet half of the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz mission – the first joint space mission between the Soviet Union and the United States.[13][15]
From 1976 to 1982, Leonov was the commander of the cosmonaut team ("Chief Cosmonaut") and deputy director of the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, where he oversaw crew training. He also edited the cosmonaut newsletter Neptune. He retired in 1992.[8]
Later life and death
Leonov's 1967 painting Near the Moon and a screenshot from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Leonov was an accomplished artist whose published books include albums of his artistic works and works he did in collaboration with his friend Andrei Sokolov. Leonov took coloured pencils and paper into space, where he sketched the Earth and drew portraits of the Apollo astronauts who flew with him during the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project.[16][17] Arthur C. Clarke wrote in his notes to 2010: Odyssey Two that, after a 1968 screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Leonov pointed out to him that the alignment of the Moon, Earth, and Sun shown in the opening is essentially the same as that in Leonov's 1967 painting Near the Moon, although the painting's diagonal framing of the scene was not replicated in the film. Clarke kept an autographed sketch of this painting—which Leonov made after the screening—hanging on his office wall.[18] Clarke dedicated 2010: Odyssey Two to Leonov and Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov;[19] and the fictional spaceship in the book is named Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.[20]
Together with Valentin Selivanov, Leonov wrote the script for the 1980 science fiction film The Orion Loop.[21]
In 2001, he was a vice president of Moscow-based Alfa-Bank and an adviser to the first deputy of the Board.[22]
In 2004, Leonov and former American astronaut David Scott began work on a dual memoir covering the history of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Titled Two Sides of the Moon: Our Story of the Cold War Space Race, it was published in 2006. Neil Armstrong and Tom Hanks both wrote introductions to the book.[23]
Leonov was interviewed by Francis French for the book Into That Silent Sea by Colin Burgess and French.[24]
Leonov died on 11 October 2019 after a long illness in Moscow. His funeral took place on 15 October.[25] He was 85[26] and the last living member of the five cosmonauts in the Voskhod programme.[27]
Legacy
Alexei Leonov (right) shares a moment with Anton Shkaplerov (left) in October 2011.
The Leonov crater, near Mare Moscoviense (Sea of Moscow) on the far side of the Moon, was named after Leonov in 1970.[28][29]
9533 Aleksejleonov, an asteroid first observed in 1981, was named for him.[30]
Leonov, along with Rusty Schweickart, established the Association of Space Explorers in 1985. Membership is open to all people who have orbited the Earth.[31]
The film The Age of Pioneers (2017) is based on Leonov's account of the Voskhod 2 mission. Leonov was portrayed by Yevgeny Mironov.[32] He was a technical adviser for the movie; the director cut all scenes featuring Gagarin–about 40 minutes of film–so Leonov could be the focus.[33]
The song "E.V.A" by Public Service Broadcasting on their 2015 album, The Race for Space, references Leonov becoming the first man to undertake extravehicular activity in space.[34]

Mercury capsule of the early 1960s. Aboard the USS Yorktown (CV-10).
The USS Yorktown (CV-10) is one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy. Launched and commissioned in 1943, she was retired in 1973 and brought across the river from Charleston to serve as a floating museum. The aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10) is located at Patriots Point, together with the destroyer USS Laffey (DD-724) and the submarine USS Clamagore (SS-343). I visited this ship on April 12, 2018.
Cross-section through a moss capsule, likely Polytrichum, showing the developing spores stained red, with the surrounding tissues in bluish color. Taken with the 10x objective on my new microscope and stitched together from 15 images using Photomerge in Photoshop CS6 and cleaned up a bit to remove specks that didn't come off the slide when I cleaned it. The final image came out to be 5500 px square, but I downsized it for upload to Flickr.
