[image] J3, this one has me more baffled than usual. That's obviously a boilerplate version of the Mercury capsule atop the Redstone. That's "MR 5" painted on the booster, but as far as I know there was never a Mercury-Redtsone 5 flight (an MR-5 flight was planned for late 1961, with Glenn as the pilot, but it was scrubbed in the wake of Titov's Vostok 2 flight). Any idea where this is and what's going on? --Bill Thompson |
