Summary: The second American to orbit Earth, Astronaut Scott Carpenter died on Thursday, NASA said. He was 88 years old. He was one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts.

Opinion: He was honored by others a lot. I think he should be honored as a great man because he orbited the Earth and was the original Mercury 7 astronaut in NASA. I want to see what happened to him while orbiting the Earth.
