General Note
The astronomical symbol for the planet Mercury lies atop a cross symbolizing the sign of valor while the number "7" in the center signifies the nation's seven original astronauts - Carpenter, Cooper, Glenn, Grissom, Schirra, Shepard and Slayton.
The Park is the first and only walk in the nation that honors America's astronauts as well as the men and women behind the scenes who helped America lead the world in space exploration.
