Mercury Space Mugs
Description: The Mercury spacecraft, named Friendship 7, was carried to orbit by an Atlas LV-3B launch vehicle lifting off from Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral, Florida. After three orbits, the spacecraft re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, splashed down in the North Atlantic Ocean, and was safely taken aboard USS Noa. (Source : Wikipedia)

Description: The pressure suit used in the Mercury program was developed from the U.S. Navy MK-IV full pressure suit manufactured by the B.F. Goodrich Co. This basic suit was selected by NASA in July 1959 for use in Project Mercury after an extensive evaluation program. Many design changes were made to the suit during the course of the Mercury program.

Description: Planet Mercury - Astronomy Solar System Milky Way Galaxy. Mercury, similar in appearance to the Moon is the smallest and closest planet to the sun. Named after the Roman messenger god, it shows heavy cratering from comets and asteroids. A great gift for astronomers, telescope stargazers, space geeks, space fans, space explorers, astronauts, science students, teachers, and scientists who love astro physics, earth sciences, planets, stars, solar system, space exploration, Hubble and sci-fi.
Description: A "mission patch" for the "WEST AREA COMPUTING UNIT", celebrating the women of colour working as computers (the original, human kind) calculating orbits for the engineers at NASA's predecessor NACA in the 40's and 50's. They were portrayed in the book and film Hidden Figures. The smoke from the rocket is made up of actual equations from one of computer Katherine Johnson's technical reports. The rocket is the Atlas LV-3B carrying the Mercury capsule Friendship 7 with John Glenn in 1962.
