Some of you may remember back in 1958 a milestone known as Project Mercury.
It was then decided by US President Eisenhower that the first men in space would need to have amongst other things a "Bachelor's degree or the equivalent". Although history chose some great men it judged that one was " not qualified" to go to space purely on his education.
This man, Chuck Yeager.
Did he need the " Bachelor's Degree"? I think we all know the answer to that one!!!
