I haven't used google yet. But a sidenote on Scott Carpenter. Carpenter played around too much with the capsule controls and spent up the onboard maneuvering fuel. He landed a few hundred miles off course. It took a few hours for the Navy to pick him up. He never got another ride. After he left the astronaut corps he went into deep sea diving in test submersible vehicles for the Navy.

(The word "racist" is a magic shield word that's supposed to stop any dissent.)

Interesting. Wikipedia has another explanation for being off course. I had not heard this.
