Talk about bringing back the memories- I remember seeing this Mercury spacecraft mock-up in the terminal at Cleveland Hopkins Airport as a kid. The picture also gives a neat look at the terminal area. Unusually, we can also pin down to the minute when this picture was taken- January 17, 1961 at 2:58 PM. This was great publicity for visitors coming into the Cleveland area who probably did not know NASA was just across the runway from them. My thanks to my friend Deirdre, who was able to flip the original NASA image to read correctly! Photo courtesy of NASA Glenn Research center,
