2/5
While Gus Grissom was rescued safely after splashdown, the capsule sunk because the hatch had ben inadvertently blown open.
4/5
This photo was taken in 2000, not long after its restoration and display at Kennedy Space Center. It cleaned up pretty well for being in the ocean for 30 years.
5/5
It looks a bit claustrophobic to me but the entire mission was only a little over 15 minutes as it was a suborbital flight.
3/5
The Liberty Bell 7 was not recovered for nearly another 30 years in 1999.
