Space Challenge in later US syndication was an American black-and-white science fiction television series, produced by Ziv Television Programs, Inc. that was first broadcast by CBS from September 30, 1959 to September 7, 1960. The syndicated series depicts future efforts by the United States Air Force to explore and develop outer space. The series' star, William Lundigan, played Col. Edward McCauley. Mercury was a NASA program to prove that astronauts could function effectively in space for minutes to hours at a time. These men were divided equally and arbitrarily into three groups, which would receive a confidential briefing advising them of the opportunity to fly into space. However, because so many men from the first two groups agreed to participate in the astronaut program if chosen, the third group of military personnel was never called upon. From there, the semi-finalists underwent extensive psychological and physical testing to winnow down the field. The selected seven astronauts were announced to the world on April 9, 1959. Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States, running from 1958 through 1963. An early highlight of the Space Race, its goal was to put a man into Earth orbit and return him safely, ideally before the Soviet Union. Taken over from the US Air Force by the newly created civilian space agency NASA, it conducted twenty uncrewed developmental flights some using animals, and six successful flights by astronauts. The program, which took its name from Roman mythology, cost 2. Classic cold war relic looking at Americas first astronauts the first free men in space. The program spanned nearly five years, with six manned missions making history between May 1961 and May 1963. In that short time, NASA achieved its goals for the project: Orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth. The American public first met the seven men chosen to be this country's first human space voyagers on April 9, 1959, at a press conference in Washington. The men were dubbed astronauts. The term was a cross between aeronauts, as ballooning pioneers were called, and Argonauts, the legendary Greeks in search of the Golden Fleece.

Lovelace was close friends with Jacqueline Cochran, whose pilot skills had propelled her to fame in the 1930s. Cochran had set womens national speed records and was involved in setting up establishing Women Airforce Service Pilots, who performed non-combat flying missions during the second world war. She answered: Well its the same thing as is there a need for men in space. I mean, if were going to send a human being into space we should send the one most qualified.
