glenn and carpenter are the only mercury 7 crew still alive today.ircled the earth three times back on february 20, 1962, just three months later, carpenter completed a similar mission. >> rick: switching gear, not a good week for the people who develop and market smart phone apps. congress signaling apple for falling short when it comes to focusing customers' personal information. the federal trade commission is also targeting google's android phones and the app makers themselves and that agency's concern is kids who are less likely to understand what they're exposing themselves to perhaps when they download an app. what responsibility do these businesses have when it comes to protecting their customers? adult and child alike? kyle harrington is the founder and managing partner of harrington capital management. you're a business guy. you don't like to see new rules or regulations put on businesses. something that might hamper their ability to make a profit. but you're also a dad. so i wonder what you think about this. >> it's a very interesting ques

this question i guess doesn't have a clear-cut answer, but your backup on "friendship 7" was scott carpenter, and he, of course, inherited deke slayton's flight following your flight. and i was wondering if, perhaps, one of the reasons that "aurora 7" might have gone less than perfect was that carpenter only had a six weeks to get ready for the flight, do specific training, and your flight had been delayed a couple months and maybe didn't really train so much as help you get ready for "friendship 7"? >> no, i don't think that was the case at all. i think because we all had trained very hard on -- any one of the seven could have gone on any mission at that time. we were all adequately trained to do it. so i don't think that had anything to do with scott's problems. there was a misalignment on the spacecraft, as best they could determine, i think, where when the retro rockets were fired, as you're traveling -- remember now, you're traveling almost five miles a second. each second in error gives you five miles off, and any misalignment and yaw or so on would also give you the improper vector to

and whitman lifts up the voices of mechanics and carpenters; masons and boatmen; shoemakers, wood-cuttersand the young wife at work, “each singing what belongs to him or her, and to none else.” and it's true that we all have songs in our souls that are only ours. we all have a unique part in the story of america. but that story is bigger than any one of us. and it endures because we are all heirs to a fundamental truth: that out of many, are one -- this incredible multitude. i hear america singing today. i hear america singing through the artists and the writers that we honor this afternoon; the men and women who are following in the footsteps of whitman and hemingway, and souza and armstrong, and eakins and rockwell. but i also hear america singing through the artists and writers who will be sitting here a few decades from now with another president; the students in denver who recently wrote a play about teenage homelessness; or the kids in grand rapids who designed a mural to bring joy to a struggling community. they're singing what whitman called “strong melodious songs.” and somewhere
