Re: pic: National Museum of the USAF
I will be traveling to Ohio this fall for the UCF vs Ohio State football game, and I'm headed to the Dayton USAF museum the day after. I have a lifelong goal to get my picture with every american capsule to fly in space, and this is home to the Apollo 15 capsule "Endeavour." This museum also has the unflown Manned Orbitting Labratory, the super secret air force space program that was taking place during the space race, and produced astronauts like Bob Crippen, but was ultimately canceled.
North of Dayton is the Neil Armstrong Museum in Wapakoneta Ohio, home of the Gemini 8 capsule, I have to see both.
I can't believe I've gone to the championships twice without visiting the, McDonnell Planetarium, home of Gemini 6, in the city where there capsules were manufactured. If anyone would like to join me in 2013 as I check this one off the list, I'd be happy to talk about the significance of that mission.
