As we become accustomed to "Rockets" etc. landing back on terra ferma, 😎
those with a long memories may recall the sinking of NASA's Mercury Capsule.

I was not eg. aware they had recovered the "Liberty Bell" from 4.6km seas.
The account above shows that events may not have been so cut & dried? 🤔

Either way, and SADLY, Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, was to later perish (along
with Astronauts Roger B. Chaffee & Edward H. White) in the Apollo I fire. 😔
