During Cooper's flight, the narrator states, "But on that glorious day in May 1963, Gordo Cooper went higher, farther, and faster than any other American..." However, Cooper's maximum velocity was 28,239. Both Scott Carpenter and Wally Schirra traveled faster on their flights, exceeding Cooper's speed by 3km/h and 18km/h respectively. They also flew higher, with Carpenter achieving apogee 2 km higher than Cooper and Schirra reaching an apogee 16 km higher.
