	The Mercury Program - Overview
		The life of Project Mercury was about 4 2/3 years, from the time of its official go-ahead to the completion of the 34-hour orbital mission of Astronaut Cooper.
		After the objectives were established for the project, a number of guidelines were established to insure that the most expedient and safest approach for attainment of the objectives was followed.
		The modifications to this launch vehicle for use in the Mercury Project included the addition of a means to sense automatically impending catastrophic failure of the launch vehicle and provisions to accommodate a new structure that would form the transition between the upper section of the launch vehicle and the spacecraft.

		Mercury is a naturally-occurring toxic trace element which has a complex cycle between the Earth’s crust, atmosphere and oceans.
		Some mercury is released by natural processes but the predominant emissions to the atmosphere result from human activities, principally mining and smelting of mineral ores, combustion of fossil fuels, and use of mercury itself.
		Mercury deposited in wetlands, lakes and streams can be converted by natural bacteria into methylmercury, a toxic form that is accumulated and biomagnified at each link in the food chain.
