Description
In preparation for sending astronauts into space, scientists sent animals to test the effect of high altitudes. But animals could only tell them so much, and so the Air Force began a remarkable program to send balloonists to the outer edge of the atmosphere. Come to the original research site in New Mexico, where Project Manhigh scientists, flight surgeons and inventors explored the science of space travel. It was here where these pioneers experienced the rarified atmosphere, tested the impact of cosmic rays and calibrated the forces of motion that could spin a man out of control.
