Smilies Legend
[i]We had little practical jokes that were going on back and forth between the astronauts, the seven of us at that time. Al Shepard — I had been his backup and put some stuff [in his spacecraft] before the suborbital flight — and when I got up and hit orbit and reached over and pulled the Velcro fastener that kept some of the equipment held down during launch, the first thing that came floating up out of there was a little felt mouse. Just a tiny little felt mouse about two inches long, with a huge long tail, about a foot long tail. And the foot long tail was tied down inside the case. And I knew who did it, I knew Al Shepard had done that. I still have that little mouse.[/i]
