The Apollo 7 crrew, Wally Schirra, Donn Eisele and Walt Cunningham, flew the first Apollo spacecraft 163 oribts of the earth in 11 days. The mission was designed to test the newly designed spacecraft following the Apollo 1 fire. They splashed down 200 nautical miles south-southwest of Bermuda and were picked up by the carrier Essex.
The crew suffered from headcolds 3 days after launch, which made them irratible and difficult to get along with. They refused several requests from Mission Control, including a NASA requirement to wear their helmets during reentry. Schirra retired from NASA following the flight. He joined Walter Cronkite as a commentator during the rest of the Apollo missions. Neither Eisele nor Cunningham ever flew in space again due to the arguments the crew had with the flight controllers.
