On This Day In 1959, NASA Introduced the Mercury Seven Astronauts

On this day in 1959, at a press conference in Washington DC, we saw the first seven American astronauts for the first time.
A reminder arrive this morning via NASA Langley's twitter feed.

There's also footage of the press conference plus an interactive Q&A session for each astronaut.
