The actress who played the nurse, Jane Dornacker, was a traffic reporter for a New York radio station and was killed in a helicopter crash a few years after the movie was made while doing a traffic report.
Favorite part of the movie: Cooper thinks he beats the record at 93 seconds and turns around and realizes Scott and Glenn are still going! Laughed so hard at this part!
Circular breathing is a technique used by players of some wind instruments to produce a continuous tone without interruption. It is accomplished by breathing in through the nose while simultaneously pushing air out through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks.
I had to get an annual pulmonary functions tests for my MOS in the Marines. I remember feeling like I was about to have my eyes pop out of my skull and onto the table.
In real life Gordon Cooper won being the only non-smoker among the 7.

It's weird watching this clip and realizing that in real life Carpenter and Glenn have outlasted the rest of their fellow Mercury 7 astronauts.
“We’re competing with Archie and Jughead…” that line always gets me
Nothing I love more than watching the joy leave the eyes of a premature celebrator.
RIP John Glenn. We lost a Great American.
We're competin' against Archie and Jughead... Best line in the movie.
The water used in this scene is brought to you by the city of Flint, Michigan.
Most men don't understand, holding your breath this long is exactly what ladies are looking for.
Love the Archie comics joke. I never noticed it before.
legendary!! such an awesome movie.

You should upload the scene where they collect sperm and they start humming the Air Force and Marines theme song XD
Scott Carpenter is from Colorado, altitude training op.

That's the old generation of American, cocky sometimes but honest, fair, straight, and accept own failing like a gentleman.
I always try to keep up with these guys when I watch this seen and can't get past 20 seconds!
