Just a quick episode today since I'm traveling. Follow @johnmulnix on Instagram and Twitter.

I spent a few hours at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas. The museum houses fantastic artifacts and is worth taking a road trip or trip to see. They even have an adult Space Camp, which I'm not going to lie, sounds amazing!

54 years ago today, American astronaut Gordon Cooper lifted off on what was the last Project Mercury mission. Today I cover a little of the history of that launch plus I cover some news from a SpaceX launch earlier today. On the next episode I will be looking at what Gordo did during the last Mercury mission, and talk a little about the new Discovery Channel series "Cooper's Treasure"
