I was able to take the Mercury capsule to a school in Appleton, WI for part of a science lesson. The 5th graders were able to experience sitting in the capsule and have a hands on experience.

Was able to take the Mercury capsule to a boyscout meeting in Appleton, WI. The boys and their parents really enjoyed seeing and even getting to sit in the capsule.

I was able to take my Mercury capsule to a homeschool event in Oshkosh this fall.
