It was this country's first live telecast from an orbiting spacecraft. The broadcast, which began shortly after 9:45 this morning Chicago time, showed the astronauts inside their spacecraft and also some views of the earth as they sped along the gulf coast of the United States and across Florida at about 17,400 miles per hour. Inside Pictures Clear While the views of the earth left a lot to be desired, mainly because of the difficulty of keeping the camera focused on one spot at that speed, those inside the spacecraft were remarkably clear, considering the distance involved and the limitations of the four-and-a-half-pound, hand-held camera used.

It had to rescue him.

He had braved 15,000 miles of heavy seas, hurricanes, treacherous currents, and near collisions with huge freighters, but the hardest part proved to be the 20 miles from Wilmette to Burnham harbor. It took him more than a day. Sails in 26-Foot Canoe Brenton set sail, in his 26-foot canoe from Lincoln park June 6, 1967.

Eisele, and Walter Cunningham sitting three abreast in the custom built couches. Described by Stafford As the picture came on, Astronaut Tom Stafford, the capsule communicator in the control room at the National Aeronautics and Space administration's manned spacecraft center here, said: "It looks real good. I can see Wally Schirra handle it now. And Donn has a smile on his face. There's Walt Cunningham.

"The definition is pretty good down here; I can see the center hatch. Actually, I am amazed." After Eisele, who had moved forward, was asked to lean back because he was taking up too much of the picture, Stafford told him, "You forgot to shave this morning." "Lost my razor," was the quick reply. Then Schirra held a sign up to the camera that read: "Keep those cards and letters coming in, folks." Eisele was the only one wearing a space suit. The others wore the coveralls they had donned last Friday shortly after starting their earth orbiting mission that could last up to 11 days. After the spacecraft passed the Corpus Christi-Houston area, Cunningham pointed the camera out the right window.

One Clear Shot of Coast The astronauts reported that they could see Lake Pontchar-train just outside of New Orleans, and Mobile bay in Alabama. But only one clear shot of the coast line came thru, and that lasted briefly. The others were mostly a blur of motion or obscured by cloud cover.
