What? NO PICTURES? G

If only! I would have been lynched! But what an experience.

When I feel safe from most of the complaints, I want to
show you two pictures of the Mercury "capsule" and
attendant upgrades. I thought I knew stuff about the
Merc, but you'll see what I mean when I can get them in.
It's one of those "can't see the forest for the trees"
situations.

I'll have them posted "at your request" if you don't mind.

Of course.
