MA-1 remains question
In "This New Ocean," the remains of MA-1 were described as being "small
portions of the capsule, the adapter-ring, and the booster." Where are these remains now? The Garber facility? Is it possible to see them? |

Here is a picture of the reconstructed capsule in the 1960's: http://nix.ksc.nasa.gov/info;jsessio...-19582&orgid=8 http://images.jsc.nasa.gov/lores/S67-19582.jpg Here is a picture of it today at the Kansas Cosmosphere, Hutchinson, KS: http://aesp.nasa.okstate.edu/fieldgu...cury/MA-1.html http://aesp.nasa.okstate.edu/fieldgu...1/DCP_0941.jpg Rusty |

Where are these remains now? The Garber facility? Is it possible to see them? Several years ago, I saw them at the Kansas Cosmosphere. Haven't heard of any removal, although, with Max Ary, who knows? That's how I discovered when I got home that I'd screwed the shutter setting on my camera, for which I'd bought fine-grain B&W film to use specifically on those remains (an illustration for a space combat game I've yet to finish). I got about 1/2" of useful picture on one side, the rest badly underexposed. Fortunately, I also carried a backup camera with color film. Eventually I will upload the new changes to my website, and I will include some pictures of this. |
