Am 5. Mai 1961 war Alan B. Shepard der erste Amerikaner, der in den Weltraum reiste. Als er wieder festen Boden unter seinen Füßen hatte, setzte er sich ans Steuer einer Chevrolet Corvette. Seither sind die Legenden, die sich um Astronauten und diesen Sportwagen mit Kultcharakter ranken, eng verflochten.
Am 7. Mai 2011 versammelten sich in Cocoa Beach, Florida, USA, etwa 30 noch lebende amerikanische Astronauten um dort an einer Parade in Gedenken an den 50. Jahrestag von Shepards historischem Weltraumflug teilzunehmen. Passend zum Anlass wurden sie in Corvettes chauffiert, die alle sechs Generationen des Fahrzeugs repräsentierten, die seit dem Hmeizcsgimsngru 8102 cqptna emdkql.
