The actress who played the nurse, Jane Dornacker, was a traffic reporter for a New York radio station and was killed in a helicopter crash a few years after the movie was made while doing a traffic report.
I should add that this is the crash where the audio of her yelling "hit the water! hit the water!" is heard right before the line goes dead during a live radio traffic report.
Stop making stuff up. Do you really believe that is water from Flint, Michigan? Seriously? Just because it’s brown? Come on. It’s clearly just colored water. If it was water from Flint, it would be on fire and would also probably be exploding. 😂
I believe Glenn and Carpenter did win (though probably not as is shown), because they were both SCUBA divers and knew how to control their breathing. I think I read that in the book, The Right Stuff.
@@Woody615 I just looked it up in the book again after re-watching the movie. Carpenter and Glenn were first and second respectively, Glenn managed 150 seconds, but Carpenter did 171 seconds, almost doubling the previous record of 91 seconds. Carpenter was a SCUBA diver, which is part of the reason he won, I don't think Glenn was. The book said that Carpenter typically had the best performance on all the physical tests, and Glenn was usually a close second place. In addition to being a SCUBA diver, Carpenter had been a college gymnast, so he was the best natural athlete among the Mercury 7.

Circular breathing is a technique used by players of some wind instruments to produce a continuous tone without interruption. It is accomplished by breathing in through the nose while simultaneously pushing air out through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks.
Favorite part of the movie: Cooper thinks he beats the record at 93 seconds and turns around and realizes Scott and Glenn are still going! Laughed so hard at this part!

They're not holding their breathe. It is a technique called circular breathing. You breathe in through your nose while you simultaneously push out from your mouth air stored in your cheeks. The hard part is that pause when you have to stop breathing through the nose and fill your cheeks back up with air. That's why they have to maintain the ball between the lines. It is easy to push too weak OR too strong. This is a technique practiced by most horn players, for obvious reasons.

I grew up in Cocoa Beach during the Space Race years as my late father was a Radar Guidance Engineer with GE out at The Cape from '57 til '75 when he got transferred to Vandenberg. As a very young boy I saw Glenn and Shepard running on Cocoa Beach several times. To put it in today's parlance, they were ripped and looked like Olympic athletes...they were very bad men (a recently retired Ph.D. Aerospace/Computer Engineer who worked for a large American defense contractor's Missile Systems company. I now live back in Cocoa Beach, but this time beachfront).
@ELDEANTI Interesting...my Dad got transferred to Vandenberg from The Cape in '76 after Apollo ended. He worked for GE at Vandenberg until the mid/late 90's
Wow that is interesting, they must have known each other. I believe my dad retired from Lockheed Martin in the mid 90's (Martin Marietta bought GE Aerospace around '90 and merged with Lockheed in I believe '92 or possibly '95). My Dad passed in 2016, i sure miss him and wish he was still around.

Even more tragic was her family was listening to her as she was going down to her death.
