The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is a nonprofit, educational institution featuring the legendary aircraft carrier Intrepid, the space shuttle Enterprise, the world’s fastest jets and a guided missile submarine. Through exhibitions, educational programming and the foremost collection of technologically groundbreaking aircraft and vessels, visitors of all ages and abilities are taken on an interactive journey through history to learn about American innovation and bravery. The Intrepid Museum was founded in 1982 with the acquisition of the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, now a National Historic Landmark, which served tours of duty in World War II and the Vietnam War, and was a recovery vessel for the Gemini and Mercury space missions. Welcoming over one million visitors annually, the Museum includes the Space Shuttle Pavilion, home to Enterprise, the world’s first space shuttle that paved the way for America’s successful Space Shuttle Program. On display are more than two dozen authentically restored aircraft, including the Lockheed A-12 Blackbird, the world’s fastest military jet and spy plane, and the British Airways Concorde, the fastest commercial aircraft to ever cross the Atlantic Ocean. The Museum also includes the submarine Growler, the only American diesel-powered strategic missile submarine open to the public; the Exploreum Interactive Hall, a fully interactive exhibit space; an 18,000 sq. ft. education center; and Pier 86, a publicly accessible pier that is part of the Hudson River Park Trust. The mission of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is to promote the awareness and understanding of history, science and service through its collections, exhibitions and programming in order to honor our heroes, educate the public and inspire our youth. The new Intrepid Museum is a unique journey filled with spectacular interactive exhibits and virtual, multi-sensory technology. The Intrepid Museum is a dynamic adventure for visitors of all ages and offers group packages, member benefits, birthday parties, special event packages and educational programs. Located at 12th Avenue and 46th Street, Intrepid is easy to get to by mass transit, car or water taxi. Learn more: http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/

During its years of service, the USS Intrepid was so well-equipped that it was essentially a floating city. Carrying up to about 3,200 men, and providing its crew with everything from a haircut to engagement rings, Intrepid was prepared for everything.

The USS Intrepid served as the recovery vessel for Gus Grissom and John Young’s first Gemini mission on March 23, 1965. Once onboard, the ship’s medical staff issued Gus Grissom with this prescription for “spiritus frumenti,” also known as whiskey. After returning from space in a Gemini capsule, you'd probably want a drink too, right?

On this date in 1965, Intrepid helicopters recovered Gemini 3 astronauts Virgil “Gus” Grissom and John Young and their space capsule. The Gemini 3 mission was the first manned flight of Project Gemini. Like many of his fellow Intrepid crew members, William Faulhaber watched the capsule recovery. He captured this image of the Gemini capsule being lifted onto the ship. Years later, he donated his slide collection to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
The Intrepid's offensive firepower during the Vietnam War came primarily from its aircraft. During the war, air wings on the Intrepid were made up of attack, fighter, electronic warfare, and helicopter squadrons. The A-4 Skyhawk (pictured here) was one of the many ships stationed on the Intrepid.

On this day in 1966, astronauts Neil Armstrong and David Scott splashed down in the Pacific ocean after the Gemini VIII mission.

Armstrong and Scott were eventually picked up by their recovery ship, the USS Leonard Mason. Photo courtesy of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
