The Original Seven: Icons of the Infinite

Before the moon landings and the space shuttle, there were these seven pioneers. This is the Mercury 7, the first group of American astronauts who turned the dream of space flight into a reality.

Dressed in their iconic silver Navy Mark IV pressure suits, these men became the faces of a new era.

Their bravery didn't just launch rockets; it launched the imagination of an entire generation. They proved that with enough grit and a bit of "the right stuff," the sky isn't a limit—it’s just the beginning.

Fun Fact: John Glenn (third from the left in the front) would later become the oldest person to fly in space at age 77!

65 years ago… NASA survival training 1960, between July 12 & 17, the Mercury 7 astronauts participated in the very first NASA survival training which was organised at the Stead Air Force Base in Nevada. During a week, the USAF trained the astronauts in desert survival near Carson Sink the northeastern part of the Nevada Carson desert. By that time, LIFE magazine already had a contract with the “Mercury 7” and photographer Ralph Morse hired a small aircraft to search for the astronauts, dropping bags of flower so he could join them by surprise to take photographs. Wrist-watch-wise interesting as the astronauts wore the bespoke 24 hours movement/dial LeCoultre wrist watches NASA had issued in September 1959. The NASA STG for project Mercury wanted a time piece with 24 hours indication as the worldwide tracking network worked with 24 hours Zulu time. These 34mm LeCoultre “Mercury 7” astronaut watches were based upon the LeCoultre Quartermaster and 8 were delivered to NASA but only used during training & PR events up to October 1963. (Photo: NASA)
