Since then, it has been on display to the public in the <a href="http://www.usna.edu/NAFPRODV/VC/" target="AirLock">Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center</a>. The Visitor Center is open 9-4 p.m., January through February; and 9-5 p.m., March through December. Mercury-Redstone 3 was the first manned space mission of the United States. Astronaut Rear Adm. Alan Shepard, a Naval Academy graduate of the Class of 1945, piloted a 15-minute Project Mercury suborbital flight of the Freedom 7 spacecraft on May 5, 1961, to become the first American in space. The Naval Academy has produced 52 astronauts — more than any other college or university in the nation.</div></BLOCKQUOTE></div></BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
