genral question on Mercury and Gemini Space Capsuls

[Paul Carreiro, N6EV]

If that is the case, then it would be the Apollo 9 Command Module, 
which is on lone to the museum from the National Air & Space 
museum.  Judging by your comment about how large it was, that points 
to an Apollo module as opposed to a Gemini / Mercury capsule.  It was 
most likely gray in color with rounded edges, as opposed to the 
smaller black sided Gemini/Mercury capsules with rather abrupt 
edges.  The San Diego museum apparently has reproductions of the 
Gemini / Mercury and Apollo spacecraft, in addition to the real 
Apollo 9 module.  I've never been there myself, but have managed to 
see just about all of the spacecraft and launch pads during my 
travels for work.

If you're interested in knowing where all the manned spacecraft are 
located, check out this site:
