A contraband corned beef sandwich brought aboard the Gemini 3 spacecraft resulted in a sandwich in space incident.
The spacecraft is on display within the Grissom Memorial of Spring Mill State Park, two miles east of Grissom's hometown of Mitchell, Indiana.
Gus Grissom was the second American to fly in space on Liberty Bell 7 and also flew aboard Gemini 3.
The memorial features the spacecraft from Grissom's Gemini 3 space flight, nicknamed by Grissom the "Molly Brown" (after the play The Unsinkable Molly Brown), as well as a short video about the life of Grissom, and artifacts such as a space suit, helmet, and many personal effects.

Having later commanded the Gemini 3 mission in 1965, Lieutenant Colonel Grissom was assigned as commander for the first manned Apollo mission, but was killed with the rest of his crew during a fire in his Apollo 1 capsule during a pre-launch rehearsal on Pad 34 at Cape Kennedy, Florida in January 1967.
