Since life expectancy is no better today than it was four years ago, health experts are worried we're settling into a trend of no improvement. In other words, we've maxed out on how old we can get. Other one-year declines occurred in AIDS epidemic and nasty flu season. So what's happening? Health experts aren't sure, but know that in , rates rose for eight of the 10 leading causes of death.

Make it count, people. Jones said Trump exaggerated the number of jobs being saved. She was all like "hi! The bi-coastal life wasn't working. When teens want to smoke these days, they're reaching for e-cigarettes.

And before you breathe a second-hand sigh of relief, consider this new report : There's not enough research yet to prove that e-cigarette use among young people is harmless.

Proponents say e-cigarettes are a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes and can help people quit smoking. But they still contain nicotine, and nicotine is harmful to the developing brain, whether smoked through a traditional cigarette or an e-cigarette, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. That feat accomplished, the mated command and lunar modules separated from the rocket and continued alone toward the Moon.

On July 19, the spacecraft reached the point of Lunar Orbit Insertion. Its main rocket, a 20,pound thrust engine, was fired for about six minutes to slow the vehicle so that it could be captured by lunar gravity. Once accomplished, the spacecraft orbited the Moon every two hours. On the morning of July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin crawled through the inch wide tunnel into the lunar module.

At p. Armstrong landed the Eagle on the surface of the Moon at p. His words to mission control: "The Eagle has landed. His four hours, 39 minutes and 32 seconds of weightlessness were "the nicest thing that ever happened to me," Carpenter told a NASA historian.

His trip led to many discoveries about spacecraft navigation and space itself, such as that space offers almost no resistance, which he found out by trailing a balloon.

Carpenter said astronauts in the Mercury program found most of their motivation from the space race with the Russians. When he completed his orbit of the Earth, he said he thought: "Hooray, we're tied with the Soviets," who had completed two manned orbits at that time. Things started to go wrong on re-entry. He was low on fuel and a key instrument that tells the pilot which way the capsule is pointing malfunctioned, forcing Carpenter to manually take over control of the landing.

NASA's Mission Control then announced that he would overshoot his landing zone by more than miles and, worse, they had lost contact with him. Carpenter survived the landing that day. Always cool under pressure — his heart rate never went above during the flight — he oriented himself by simply peering out the space capsule's window.

The Navy found him in the Caribbean, floating in his life raft with his feet propped up. He offered up some of his space rations. The two feuded about it from then on.

Kraft accused Carpenter of being distracted and behind schedule, as well as making poor decisions. He blamed Carpenter for the low fuel. On his website, Carpenter acknowledged that he didn't shut off a switch at the right time, doubling fuel loss.

Still, Carpenter in his memoir said, "I think the data shows that the machine failed. In the book "We Seven," written by the first seven astronauts, Carpenter wrote about his thoughts while waiting to be picked up after splashing down. I couldn't believe it had all happened.

It had been a tremendous experience, and though I could not ever really share it with anyone, I looked forward to telling others as much about it as I could. I had made mistakes and some things had gone wrong. But I hoped that other men could learn from my experiences. I felt that the flight was a success, and I was proud of that. One of candidates to be the nation's first astronauts, Carpenter became an instant celebrity in when he was chosen as a Mercury astronaut.

The Mercury 7 were Carpenter, Glenn, L. Gordon Cooper Jr. Schirra Jr. Shepard Jr. Like his colleagues, Carpenter basked in lavish attention and public rewards, but it wasn't exactly easy.
