MA-7 “Aurora 7″

Aurora 7

This, along with Apollo 8, started this adventure of trying to see all the American space capsules. I was in Chicago for a National Science Digital Library meeting and had the morning and about half the afternoon. I visited the Alder Planetarium in the morning, then headed down to Museum of Science and Industry. Unfortunately, the famous U-Boat was undergoing restoration. However, this museum does have both the Aurora 7 capsule and the Apollo 8 capsule.

The museum has complete Space Hall. I must have spent a good hour or two in here.

Having seen these two, I got to wondering “How many have I seen?” Thanks to this new invention call the “internets”, I looked up where the capsule were and figured on how many I needed to see.
