from SF Weekly:

Gordon Cooper, pioneering Mercury program astronaut, dies at 77
Gordon Cooper was the last astronaut to take flight during NASA's pioneering Mercury program, but he achieved many key firsts as he piloted Faith 7 capsule in May of 1963.

As he circled the globe 22 times in 34 hours and 20 minutes, Cooper became the first astronaut in a space flight of more than 24 hours. He was also the first astronaut to sleep in space, and he successfully carried out a beacon experiment that made him the first man to launch a satellite in space.

Cooper, who was the youngest and perhaps cockiest member of the original seven Mercury astronauts, died Monday at his Ventura home of natural causes. He was 77.

g'night, Gordo.
