    Shepard's Prayer

    Shepard's Prayer redirects to Alan Shepard, yet there is no mention of it on the page. Should it be added? For those who don't know, it is usually quoted as "Dear Lord, please don't let me fuck up", although Shepard claimed the words to be "Don't fuck up, Shepard".

    I have added it to the Shepard's Prayer article. Feel free to expand it. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:01, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Reaction to Gagarin's flight

    Neal Thompson says in his book Light This Candle that, when Shepard heard the news about Yuri Gagarin's flight, he "slammed his fist down on a table" next to a NASA officer (that's Thompson 2004, p. 282). However, in this article called First Step To The Moon, written by Shepard himself, he says he was sleeping in a hotel room when someone called telling him the news. So, which one should we trust more? Should we put them both in the article? Cléééston (talk) 03:22, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Alan Shepard spent eight (???) hours in the capsule

    The text says: "After being strapped into the capsule's seat, launch delays kept him in that suit for eight hours; Shepard's endurance gave out before launch, and he was forced to empty his bladder into the suit..." The source: https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2013/06/the-science-and-history-of-space-urination.html/ This source doesn't seem to be very reliable if it makes such glaring mistakes. See what the Mercury-Redstone 3 article says (emphasis added): "All of the delays resulted in Shepard lying on his back in the capsule for almost three hours, by which point he complained to the blockhouse crew that he had a severe need to urinate..." Or: "He entered the spacecraft at 5:15 am. ... Mercury-Redstone 3 finally lifted off at 9:34 am." This means that the total time Shepard stayed inside the capsule was 4 hours 19 minutes.
