[b]Russian and American spacecraft land at the Library[/b] In July, a 90-ton crane lifted American and Russian spacecraft and a Mission Control console into the LBJ Library building in preparation for the new space exhibit. Flying again was the VOSTOK 3KA-2, the actual VOSTOK that carried a dog and mannequin into space just prior to Yuri Gagarin's famous flight that made him the first man to reach space in 1961. The crane also lifted a replica of Freedom 7, the capsule that carried Alan Shepard, making him the first American to travel to space.
