When John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962, his Mercury space capsule traveled at speeds in excess of 17,000 mph."

  }

    document.someStuff.infoBox.value="Apollo\n\nManned Flights: 11\nIn Use: 1968-1972\n\nThe command module, with a crew of 3 astronauts and about the size of a bedroom, brought the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon (or at least into orbit).  Another module used for landing on the Moon, the Lunar Excursion Module, or LEM, was attached to the command module until it landed on the Moon.  Six of the Apollo missions landed on the Moon."

It included soloar wings for power and a telescope for observations.  Skylab later fell from its orbit and most of it burned off in the atmosphere.  However, some peices were recorded as landing in Australia."

Many shuttle astronauts are mission specilists who conduct experiments, take up sattelites, or repair them.  When returning to Earth, the Space Shuttle simply glides back down and lands like a conventional aircraft."

In fact, the part of Phase 1 that takes place on Earth is already complete, and its construction in space is set to begin this summer."
