In 1961, Liberty Bell 7 sank after Gus Grissom's flight; 38 years later, crews recovered the capsule from more than 15,000 feet beneath the Atlantic Ocean

For thirty-eight years, astronaut Gus Grissom's Liberty Bell 7 spacecraft lay lost beneath the waves. A skilled salvage expert ventured into the deep ocean to locate the capsule, utilizing advanced sonar technology and a remotely operated vehicle. Inside, technicians had cleverly placed souvenir Roosevelt dimes before its launch. Today, this historic artifact can be viewed by the public in Kansas, a testament to space exploration.
