Well, boy, don't I feel like the fool.
I didn't know that it did something no previous flight has ever done. None. Ever.
I was under the misguided apprehension that the Mercury programme orbited the earth and splashed down in the Atlantic in 1962. Then there was Gemini programme, Apollo programme, Soyuz programme, Orion programme that all did the same.
I feel so stupid now that I know this was the first one to achieve such a feat. Ever. It's so revolutionary.
Vive la revolution. Again.
