Smilies Legend
[i]A crane from Belger Cartage lifted the Mercury space capsule out of a 15-foot-deep freight well at the southeast corner of the Cosmosphere and gently set it back down on a trailer for the first leg of its journey to Germany, where it will be on loan for an exhibit titled "Outer Space: The Space Between Art and Science," in Bonn. ...from the Cosmosphere, Liberty Bell 7 was taken to the museum’s SpaceWorks division on Whiteside Street. SpaceWorks technicians will refurbish its display case with better lighting and a positive pressure component to help protect the capsule from the environment. Liberty Bell 7 will then be crated up and placed on a truck for the Port of Houston on July 30. There it will be placed aboard a ship for the ocean journey to Germany. From a German port, it will be trucked to the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany in Bonn. It is expected to arrive there on Aug. 29. SpaceWorks personnel will meet the Liberty Bell 7 to unpack it and prepare it for display in Bonn from Oct. 3 through Feb. 22.[/i]
