On December 12, 1999, the Discovery Channel aired a two-hour documentary about Gus Grissom's suborbital launch aboard Liberty Bell 7 on July 21, 1961, the spacecraft's loss in the Atlantic Ocean, its eventual recovery and restoration. Liberty Bell 7 is now on display at the Kansas Comosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas.
Project Mercury pad leader Günter Wendt was part of the recovery team.
