Forty years ago today, March 23, 1965, Gus Grissom and John Young were
launched into orbit aboard the Molly Brown (Gemini 3). Gus performed
the first orbital maneuvers with a manned spacecraft and John offered
Gus a corned beef sandwich. I remember reading somewhere that the
sandwich (with a bite out of it) was preserved in plexiglas.
