Titles read: "WASHINGTON - GRAVITY GOES UP!"
Washington DC, United States of America.
Various shots of the seven men who have been selected as the USA's Mercury astronauts standing on a NASA stage (seems to be at a press conference).
USAF (United States Air Force) plane in flight. Inside we see several shots of Warren Young, Science Editor of Life Magazine and Major Edward Brown (Psychologist Pilot) as they experience life without gravity. Young's pad and pencil float away from him. Brown holds a glass of water which floats into the air.
Several shots of the men floating about, walking along the ceiling with suction-pad boots and turning somersaults in the plane. Two other men are also seen.
