In 1957, he made the first nonstop supersonic flight across the United States, flying from Los Angeles to New York in three hours and 23 minutes. Glenn was preceded in space by two Americans, Alan B. Shepard Jr. and Virgil I. âGusâ Grissom, and two Soviets, Yuri A. Gagarin and Gherman S. Titov. In April 1961, Gagarin was the first man in space, and his spacecraft Vostok 1 made a full orbit before returning to Earth. Less than one month later, Shepard was launched into space aboard Freedom 7 on a suborbital flight. In July, Grissom made another brief suborbital flight aboard Liberty Bell 7.
Most customers will spend between $700 and $2,800 for a mid-quality heat pump, not including labor costs. Depending on the brand, model and installation factors like drilling or excavation, this can take the cost up to $9,000.
It is very common to find heat pumps in new construction homes and buildings that are focused on energy efficiency. The drawback to the heat pump is that the typical furnace cost can range from $1,500 to $7,500 depending on the size of the system.ingle stage, 80% efficient gas furnaces typically cost $2,000 or higher, moving up to a 90% efficiency range of this same type can cost $3,000. To move into the 95% efficiency range with a multi-stage or modulating furnace that feature variable speed blowers can cost $5,000 to $7,500.
