T O P I C R E V I E WRobert PearlmancollectSPACE SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft lands at Chicago museum ahead of exhibitA SpaceX Dragon spacecraft that twice splashed down has now landed for its last time — in Chicago.The capsule, which flew two uncrewed missions to deliver cargo to and from the International Space Station, arrived at the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) in Illinois on Thursday (Dec. 1) for its permanent exhibit. The Dragon will join other historic spacecraft in the museum's Henry Crown Space Center when it debuts on public display in the spring of 2023. Robert PearlmancollectSPACE SpaceX Dragon joins Mercury and Apollo capsules on display in ChicagoA twice-flown SpaceX capsule has debuted on public display next to the second Mercury spacecraft to launch an American into Earth orbit and first Apollo command module to fly astronauts to the moon.The last first-generation Dragon capsule that SpaceX built to ferry cargo to and from the International Space Station went on exhibit on Sunday (May 19), as part of a renovated gallery at the newly-renamed Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. A $125 million donation by hedge fund manager Kenneth C. Griffin — the largest contribution in the museum's history — helped to underwrite refreshing the Henry Crown Space Center, including adding the SpaceX display. Zoo KeeperLooks like a beautiful renovation. I look forward to a return visit to see the new gallery. Aurora 7's new display case highlights the fall of plexiglass wraps as the dominant spacecraft display method. Gemini VIII is now the last remaining American spacecraft to be displayed this way.
