[i]"I think its going to be known as the 'Casa Grande Capsule,'" said artist Jack Millard, 53, of Scottsdale. "The cement mixer was abandoned there for 30 years just rusting in the field," Millard said. He was driving by on his way to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show when he said he saw the mixer and was inspired. He chuckled to himself and thought it looked like the capsules astronauts use to return to Earth after space missions. ...on Feb. 2, Millard started transforming the concrete mixer into a space capsule. He had help from another artist, Ren Eide. The capsule was made to look like it descended from space, with a used cargo parachute that Millard bought at a military surplus store attached for effect.[/i]
