CAPTAIN WALTER M. SCHIRRA, JR | | CAPTAIN WALTER M. SCHIRRA, JR., USN (RET.) was one of the original seven American astronauts, and logged over 12 days in space on three pioneering flights during the 1960's. He is the only astronaut to go into space on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft. Walter Schirra was chosen by NASA to become an astronaut in 1959, while attending the Naval Test Pilot School. He became a popular spokesman for the space program while co-anchoring CBS coverage with Walter Cronkite. As a Navy pilot, he flew 90 combat missions in Korea, and earned many awards including the Distinguished Service Medal and three Distinguished Flying Crosses. Following retirement from the military in 1969, Schirra became president of Regency Investors of Denver, founded Environmental Control Company, and served as Vice President or Director of numerous companies. He currently heads Schirra Enterprises, a consulting firm, and devotes considerable volunteer time to many civic groups and clubs. His autobiography, Schirra's Space, was published in 1988. Captain Schirra is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy (1945), and the Newark College of Engineering.
