  <description>&lt;p&gt;54 years ago today, American astronaut Gordon Cooper lifted off on what was the last Project Mercury mission.  Today I cover a little of the history of that launch plus I cover some news from a SpaceX launch earlier today.  On the next episode I will be looking at what Gordo did during the last Mercury mission, and talk a little about the new Discovery Channel series "Cooper's Treasure"  &lt;/p&gt;
