Liberty Bell 7, astronaut Gus Grissom’s Mercury capsule that spent nearly 40 years on the ocean floor, will return to the sea this summer. The spacecraft will depart the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center for a trip by ocean freighter to Europe, where it is to go on display for four months at the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany. The capsule will be a part of “Outer Space: The Space Between Art and Science,” a 12-part exhibit drawing a connection between space artifacts, scientific displays and science fiction to both historical and modern works of art. Liberty Bell 7 will travel in August and be on display from October 2014 through February 2015.
