Enter a year 1998-2024.
Some pages contain images from more than one year and the descriptions may refer to other years, but displayed here are only the photos taken in 2007.

Kansas Cosmosphere - Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson July 2005, with followup visits in 2007 and 2018. Historic space vehicles Apollo 13 command module Odyssey, Gus Grissom's long-lost Mercury capsule Liberty Bell 7, and the Gemini X capsule.
The Liberty Bell 7 Mercury capsule was on a national tour when I visited the Kansas Cosmosphere in 2005, bit it was there when I stopped again in 2007 and got this image. I was back at the Cosmosphere in 2018, but once again the capsule was touring. As of 2020, Liberty Bell 7 is again on display at the Cosmosphere, which owns it.
