21. Hanging in Space For 11 Days
Wally Schirra, Donn Eisele, and Walter Cunningham were the astronauts that traveled in space for 11 days, orbiting our planet 163 times, ending with a successful landing! It restored the confidence of both the public and NASA after the failure of Apollo 1.
Schirra, Eisele, and Cunningham were awarded with the Exceptional Service Medal after they set foot on Earth!
