    So, do you lay the sticks of dynamite on top of the carcass, underneath it, or do you have to insert them within for maximum effect?

    Glenn was the only Marine of the Mercury 7. Carpenter was in the Navy along with Shepard and Schirra. The other three were USAF. They were kinda into political correctness even then: 3 Navy, 3 AF, 1 Marine – the Army having no jet test pilots to try out it seems.

    I’ve heard of beating a dead horse, but this is ridiculous.

    Just one inserted as a suppository should do the trick.

    An explosion might destroy ‘the body of evidence’!

    As the light bulb turns on in my head, Glenn’s spaceflight was named Friendship 7.
