Mercury-Redstone 1's infamous "4 inch flight" was the result of a tiny mistake: A connection cable that was slightly too long youtube.com/watch?v=qSYqz…
Mercury Redstone - not sure I can bring myself to launch this bad boy, it's officially the most time and energy I put into a rocket yet
Mercury Redstone 1 suffered an engine shutdown immediately after liftoff, due to 2 cables being pulled out in the wrong order. It rose 4" in the, settled back onto the pad, fully fuelled. Nobody was aboard,

My Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle. It's not 100% accurate, but it works with the tools I have available to me. BP at 20 upvotes, video of the flight in the comments.
Update #2! Here is the next round of rockets I have recreated in my rocket garden. Today I built the futuristic Starship SN9 by SpaceX, SpaceX's first rocket, the Falcon 1, and the rocket that put the first American astronaut into space, the Mercury Redstone. reddit.com/gallery/lk8j6p
Suicide Burn Boy, here! I’ve seen a lot of people recreate historical launches, but I haven’t seen anyone recreate Mercury-Redstone 1. v.redd.it/jun991sh3tg61
TIL about "The 4-inch flight" of Mercury-Redstone 1 where the rocket lifted off, rose 4 inches and then settled back down on its launch cradle. history.nasa.gov/SP-4201/…

TIL about Ham (July 1957 – January 19, 1983), also known as Ham the Chimp and Ham the Astrochimp, was a chimpanzee and the first hominid launched into space. On January 31, 1961, Ham flew a suborbital flight on the Mercury-Redstone 2 mission, part of the U.S. space program's Project Mercury. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ham…
Lately I’ve been working on a 1:28 Mercury-Redstone! This Freedom 7 MOC has 700+ pieces and stands a little less than a meter tall!
The test chimpanzee "Ham" launches on a suborbital test of the Mercury-Redstone on January 31st, 1961.

[Space] On July 21, 1961, Mercury-Redstone 4 launched from Cape Canaveral, carrying Astronaut Gus Grissom - making him the second American to venture into outer space. Grissom nicknamed his spacecraft the “Liberty Bell 7” after its bell-shape.
