I didn’t even realize this until you mentioned it.
Thanks!

My goodness, you're right! I'm a big-time space-nut, and I didn't even realize that!

I'll am watching with bells on! Really neat that we're seeing live shots from inside the capsule.

I remember that splash-down. I was all of eleven years. Everyone made it back safely, but (IIRC) the cabin settled in a “stable 2” position (upside down) and filled with some gas that naseated everyone aboard. Deke Slayton’s first and last spaceflight.
