Talk:Gordon Cooper

Untitled
Google shows 10x more "Gordon Cooper" with "astronaut" than "Gordo Cooper", so apparently the nickname never caught on as the usual way to refer to him. Stan 23:32, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)


 * However, he wasn't the last individual to reach space alone.


 * Two flights of the X-15 later in 1963 passed the 100 km "edge of space". ... [SpaceShipOne] ...

These two paragraphs are inprecise. If "the last individual" does not rule out non-U.S. astronauts, then China's Yang Liwei and possibly some other Russian astronauts may count. Were there any trips that include "Home Alone" where a single man was on a space station or going home alone where a man went home by himself? -- Toytoy 13:59, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

quotes
There are no citations for the supposed quotes. And what's with the strange typography and quotation-mark pictures? Unless this is cleaned up, the whole section should be deleted.

Youtube of Gordon Cooper discussing the UFOs he saw
An Astronaut's UFO Experience - Gordon Cooper - YouTube.

He also discusses the film of the UFO landing. He discussed looking at the negatives.

Wikipedia does allow primary sources to be used too.

I don't have time to incorporate this into the article and references. So others with more time might do so. It is at least a backup to the secondary sources. -- Timeshifter (talk) 16:40, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
