Astronaut Tells
News Conference
01 Experiences '
Washington -WTO- Astro
naut Alan B. Shapard Jr..
37, said today "everything
worked fine" on his space
voyage Friday and that the
United States could have
made the shot before Rus
sia put Us man into orbit.
, "We could have, gone a
lot earlier," the heroic naval
commander told a jammed
news conference, but the
Civilian Space Agency de
cided not to "rush the pro
gram." As to why the space
agency had not rushed the
program, Shepard said alL
persons Involved fell the
timetable was a "well laid
out, reliable program,"
Washington - (BUI - Cmdr.
Alan B. Shepard Jr. said to
day the astronauts were "very
much pleased and encourag
ed" by his space flight and
would press ahead now with
trie greatest possible speed.
Appearing before a jammed
news conference after his tri
umphal arrival in Washing
ton, Shepard said the Mercury
Project felt several significant
things were learned from his
historic suborbital flight Fri
day. .
One of these, he said, was
that-aa the man in the space
craft-he actually could exer
cise control over some of its
devices in retroactive firing
and re-entry into the earth's
atmosphere.
He was introduced by Rob
ert R. Gllruth, director of the
Mercury Project, who said
that the flight was "extremely
productive" and had yielded
"a large amount of test data."
Gllruth said Shepard had
been "extremely cool during
that long count down" and
had done a fine job test fly
ing the vehicle.
Gllruth called it "an ex
tremely tense but productive
flight." He added there would
be "m a n y tough flights
ahead."
Questions and -Answers
Her are mm. nueatlnni
and answers from Shepard's
news conference:
Q. How did you feel when
you were waiting to go into
space? .
A. I had so many technical
things to think about, I really
didn't have time for personal
feelings. But I was surprised
by the lift out, how smooth It
was. I expected 'more noise
and vibration. It was a very
pleasant lift off.
Q. Where were you when
you said 'What a beautiful
Sight'?
A. Well, I had just made
some maneuvers -with the
manual controls and the pro
gram called for me to look
through the periscope at this
point. We had been briefed on
what to expect and I had seen
pictures of what It would look
like. But when I first looked
through the periscope I must
admit it took my breath away.
It was a beautiful view.
Q. What was the worst part
of the flight?
A. I don't think we had any
bad moments. He kept using
the pronoun "we" Instead of
"I" throughout the news con
ference. Loud laughter erupted when
a reporter asked about the re
ported bet Shepard made with
another astronaut that he
would, not be able to see the
stars or distinguish various
constellations. Shepard chuc
kled and referred the question
to the man he had bet with,
Col. John H. Glenn. -
Glenn said "we were Just
wondering if Al could see the
stars, like I claimed he could,
but I'm claiming foul because
he didn't take his eyes oft the
instruments long enough and
I figure I'm owed a steak din
ner payoff."

Whit House Welcome
Kennedy Points To Common
Effort for Space Triumph
(Continued from Paga 1)
Mrs. Shepard had been at
Andrews Air Force Base to
meet the astronaut on his ar
rival after a flight of 2 hours
and 11 minutes from Grand
Baham Island.' ,
Twenty-three minutes later,
he was on the south lawn of
the White - House shaking
hands with President and
Mrs. Kennedy.
' Kennedy, bareheaded under
a hazy sun, presented Shepard
with the Distinguished Service
Medal. Shepard stood ram
rod stiff as Kennedy read the
citation, and accompanied it
with his warm congratula
tions.
In his welcoming remarks,
Kennedy said "I think they
know how proud we are of
him and what great satisfac
tion his accomplishment has
given us . . ."
He said of the other astro
nauts: "Our pride in them is
equal."
The President said Shep
ard's flight was "a common
effort" and all of the astro
nauts deserved credit for the
feat.
"I think we should give
them a hand,", Kennedy told
the crowd on hand for the
ceremony.
Shepard flew into space and
fame last Friday and spent the
Intervening time at Grand
Bahama Island before flying
to Andrews Air Force Base
Md., by jet this morning.
After greeting his wife and
parents, he flew by helicopter
to the White House
Public Watched Flight ,
Kennedy noted that the
flight was made with full pub
lie disclosure and that it was
all the more' successful be
cause of the risk of disclosing
failure that was present. ,
In presenting the award, he
noted that ' this is an accom
plishment that started from
the ground up."
The citation read by Ken
nedy said:
"His flight as the first Unit
ed States astronaut was an
outstanding contribution to
the advancement of human
knowledge of space technol
ogy and a demonstration of
man's capabilities in subor
bital space flight."
Before launching seriously
into a rather formal response,
Shepard told the President,
"I thought last Friday was a
thrilling day but this surpass
es it."
"I got less sleep last night"
than before the space flight,
Shepard said.
He said he was "very mind
ful" that part of the credit
should go to the hundreds of
persons who made the flight
possible during the two years
in which the astronauts were
preparing.
A moment later, with Ken
nedy leading the way, Shep
ard was striding into the
White House for a reception
by the President and the first
lady.
The President led Shepard

and the other six; astronauts
into his office for private
talks. He sat in his famed
rocking chair with the astron
auts flanking him on divans
on either side. While posing
for photographers, Kennedy
leaned forword intently to
talk to Shepard on his im
mediate right
' Mrs. Kennedy escorted Mrs.
Shepard and the other women

House living quarters for cof
fee. - t
Sharing honors with Shep
ard were the other astronauts,
U.S. space officials, and his
lovely wife, Louise. The Pres
ident and Mrs. Kennedy gave
Mrs. Shepard a beaming wel
come. , , .
Mrs. Kennedy commiserat
ed with Mrs. Shepard over
the brevity of the reunion
with her husband who must
go back to his Mercury jnan-in-space
work later today
while she goes back to their
home at Virginia Beach near
Norfolk, Va.
Things were happening for
Shepard almost as fast as they
did last Friday when he flew
15 minutes into fame aboard
Freedom 7, a Mercury cap
sule which carried him 115
miles up into space and 302
miles down the Atlantic mis
sile range from Cape Canav
eral, Fla.
The medal ceremony was
hardly as imooth as last Fri
day's launching. First, Ken
nedy fumbled and dropped
the medal with its blue-white
ribbon. Then he forgot, for a
moment, to pin it on the astronaut,-
. '
When the medal slipped
from Kennedy's hands, NASA
Administrator E. Webb nim
bly retrieved It.
The President drew laughs
from the assembled officials,
which included members of
the cabinet, when with the
medal back in his hands he
told Shepard: ,
: "I am proud to present this
decoration - which has gone
from the ground up."
Then he handed the medal
to Shepard with the remark,
"here." Not until Shepard
had delivered his response
did the President rectify his
mistake. Taking the medal
back from Shepard, Kennedy
said:
"Let me pin it on; I'll do
my duty." , -
