[simpits-tech] Kansas Cosmosphere

[Brian Sikkema]

*shits self*

I would love ANY information you could give me... any and all!!

Not only am I planning a mercury capsule, I'm also involved in the Mercury addon for Orbiter, and just a Mercury nut in general....


So I'd definitely be very appreciative!! :D

Brian

 >Gentlemen !

Saw your conversation about the Mercury Liberty Bell Capsule.  I have been
quite into the Space Program for years. I get the impression one of you are
planning on building a Replica or Simulator of this item. I may have a full
set of drawings on the Mercury Capsule, plus other information.

If I could possibly be of help,  feel free to drop me a line.
