I was lying there, flat on my back--and it just blew

[Joel Corwith]

A change in employment status afforded me the time to take my young'ns down
to the Phoenix Science Museum and make a first hand gander at the Liberty
Bell 7. We experienced de-orbit to splash down in a trainer, scooped
capsules out of the water with a helicopter, hooked a cable to a capsule
with a deep sea rover, and spent some time in awe of the capsule engineering
and restoration. The exhibit will be in the valley until Sept 7. We parked
in the small garage just north of the museum and it was only a buck with
validation. If you're fairly up on the flight, the planetarium show can be
skipped (was free with membership).

Below are the AZ repugnet's story, a bit of history, recovery details, and a
bio on Gus. Somewhere included a tour calendar, though it appeared out of
date on one page, and completely wrong on another (not below)

A web search turned up many, many more links.

I also ran a reprint of an article about Gus in the first three issues
of ROCINews. You can find links to the issues at:
