The following photos are of "The Lost Spacecraft" exhibition at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, Nebraska. The display features Gus Grissom's Liberty Bell 7 space craft and the artifacts recovered in it. It was America's second manned space mission in 1961. It was the only NASA spacecraft lost and never recovered. It sat on the ocean floor for 38 years. Although its watery resting place was deeper than the Titanic's and it is only the size of a refrigerator, Liberty Bell 7 was located and recovered in 1999.
