News Release by ROCKETS Magazine   
Sunday, June 19, 2011

ImageGAITHERSBURG, Maryland USA — Before he became obsessed with sending rockets into the stratosphere at Mach 2.5 above the playa of the Black Rock Desert, Curt Newport was fascinated and determined to recover Liberty Bell 7. Gus Grissom's Mercury Space capsule sat 15,000 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean for 38 years. The cause and lose of the capsule remains controversial to this day.

Lost Spacecraft, The Search For Liberty Bell 7 chronicles Curt's 14 year self-imposed mission and labor of love to find and recover the only space craft NASA has ever lost. 

This is a fascinating read by one of high powered rocketry's own. Curt is a prominent flier at the annual BALLS launches with his P-powered Proteus projects as well as a long standing member and flier with MDRA.
 
To enhance the value of the limited edition book, the purchaser can opt for a customized, signed copy. In addition to the book, there is a limited edition lithograph, The Moment of Discovery, being offered with or without a Liberty Bell 7 Artifact.
 
Both the book and the lithograph are out of print but ROCKETS Magazine has procured a limited number of these collectors items any red-blooded rocketeer would want to have it in their collection. The quantities are small and the items are priced to move. Take advantage of this opportunity while the supply lasts.

Go to http://www.rocketsmagazine.com/ to purchase your books and lithographs.

Alas - I tried to go to their site and all I get is Service Unavailable. I could vainly hope that this is because rocketry is so popular that the site was flooded with requests - but I suspect otherwise.
