T O P I C R E V I E WGordon Eliot ReadeHere's a really cool space collectable I recently discovered on amazon. Hohner still manufactures the same model of Harmonica played by Wally Schirra on Gemini 6.This little beauty, and I do mean little, is identical to the one on display in the National Air and Space Museum. I love it as the packaging gives the complete back story. This is the first musical instrument to be played in space. I'm buying one for each of my 6th Grade astronomy students so that when they get to Mars they'll be able to play Jingle Bells just as Wally did when he sighted Santa all those years ago.
