His famous first flight, on May 5 of 1961, when he became the first American in space and the crowds
went wild, was a sub-orbital flight. He went up and he came down, there was no orbit, and the whole
thing was over in less than 20 minutes.
Later, in 1974, aboard Apollo 14 on the way to the moon, the Saturn third stage with the Apollo
command module and LEM stayed in earth orbit for a while before they got the 'go for TLI'; that
wasn't more than a few hours, before they re-lit the candle, broke out of earth orbit, and headed
for the moon.
