Archival Adventures: Project Mercury | James Dean Collection
Get ready for liftoff - it's time for an adventure! This week, we’re rocketing back in time to explore the thrilling era of the Space Race! Our mission? A deep dive into NASA's very first manned flight program: Project Mercury. We'll journey through a trove of materials, with highlights from the James Dean Collection - the creator of NASA's art program. Along the way, we'll explore official NASA publications, declassified documents, striking photos, and the public's reaction to these legendary missions. Buckle up and join us for a learning blastoff!
