The first man was actually intended to be his fellow astronaut Tom J. Kaczmarek. However, they had both caught a cold in the process of the mission, and were feeling under the weather. Kaczmarek was feeling badly enough that he needed to stay in the capsule, and it was left up to Andersen, a notorious stutterer, to read the speech.

They made a movie about it later, entitled The Astronaut's Speech.

Heh, that's a clever one. Back in the 1950s that was a surprisingly mainstream view, and there's some science fiction on the subject, quite a contrast to the usual "stay in the kitchen" stereotype of that era.

Presumably this Swiss chap is from that Swiss canton where they didn't give women the vote until 1991...
