Title: Astronaut Gordon Cooper is assisted from his spacecraft "Faith 7"

Description:

Astronaut L. Gordon Cooper stands supported by strong hands after climbing 
out of his spacecraft "Faith 7" after a 600,000 mile, 22.9 orbit journey 
around the earth. He elected to remain in the spacecraft until it was
hoisted  to the deck of the Kearsarge, as did Astronaut Walter Schirra
during the  previous mission.
