I'm an MST alum and I remember when this car sat covered in the back of the Bureau of Mines building, slightly adjacent to the university's robotics team. Late 2007 or so. I was a Freshman.

Yep! We used to have a piece on display in Huntsville, AL too. Pretty badly charred O2 tank or something.

Don't forget the $400 fine for littering that followed! The US never paid it, either. Way to go, America!

The Mercury spacesuit, a modified version of the Navy's MKIV high altitude flight suit, was only silver because it looked more futuristic.

NASA didn’t share his sense of humor and requested him to change the name. He suggested

Whoops! Disregard oxford. No list. It was early. Maybe I was seeing triple or something.

Oxford comma; optional in this case. :)
