STP46: Rescuing a Spacecraft From The Bottom of the Ocean The Incredible Story of Liberty Bell 7 With J...

Space and Things

This week we're joined by Jim Remar, CEO of the Cosmophere in Hutchinson, Kansas, the home of Liberty Bell 7, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of it's flight carrying Gus Grissom into space. A truly remarkable story, not just because of the mission being just the 3rd crewed launch of any vehicle into space, but because the capsule was lost at the bottom of the sea until 1999 when it was recovered and restored by the people at the Cosmophere.
