Gemini 3 spacecraft on display at the Virgil I. Grissom Memorial at Spring Mill State Park near Mitchell, Indiana. Gus Grissom died in the Apollo 1 fire, and this museum is one of two memorials near his hometown. The nickname, Molly Brown, is a bit of an inside joke. Grissom's Mercury capsule sank, nearly killing Grissom. Hoping for better luck this time, the flight was named after the Unsinkable Molly Brown.
