Now, there are only two...

One of the original Mercury Astronauts has died.

Walter M. Schirra (1923–2007) Mercury-Atlas 8, Gemini 6A, Apollo 7 passed away at age 80.

The two surviving members of the "Mercuty 7" are M. Scott Carpenter, a Delt from the Beta Kappa Chapter at the University of Colorado, and John H. Glenn, former U.S. Sentor from Ohio, and the first American to orbit the Earth.

"Wally" Schirra went into space in the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, but did not walk on the Moon.
