I also held Gus's survival knife, the pencil he used to during the flight of LB7, his survival kit, and many, many other artifacts from the Liberty Bell 7. It was a great day at the Cosmosphere but I plan on waiting until Craig posts his report on that day before I mention any more. Like holding the flown Apollo 8 TLI check list and trying to lift the door of the Apollo 13 Command Module.
