jfklibrary: We’re very pleased to announce that Freedom 7, the Mercury space capsule that Alan B. Shepard, Jr. rode on the first American manned flight into space, arrived at the JFK Presidential Library and Museum yesterday. The capsule will be on display for the public beginning September 12, which marks the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s memorable speech at Rice University, where he vowed to send a mission to the moon. “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.” The capsule is on loan from the Smithsonian Institution’s Air and Space Museum through December 2015. We hope you’ll come visit to see this iconic piece of history.

“This would be a man that loves going to work and does not dread it the night before. Upon entering the Magic Kingdom, one of the security guards said to the girl “Excuse me Princess, can I have your autograph.” I could see that the book was filled with children’s scribbles as the guard asked the same question of many little Princesses. The little girl could not get over the fact that the guard thought she was a real princess.”
