"The future isn't what it used to be."

My brither will be there for the unveiling, thought this was a pretty cool deal. It will interesting to see how it faired.

That's VERY cool...Now, does anybody want to wager on it's condition? They supposedly "took every precaution" when they buried it, but obviously technology then isn't what it is today.

My heart hopes that it's in pristine condition, but my head is telling me that it will only be in good condition at best.

When EXACTLY is the unveiling?

I was just talking to a city worker today and they are wagering the vault will be full of water. According to him the vault is going to be unearthed under a tent with only invited guests attending. The general public will be allowed to watch via closed circuit tv at the civic center which is very near by the capsule site.

Should be intersting. Maybe one of my relatives guessed the population correctly.

oh man,, if the vault is full of water.......
The case of Schlitz beer ought to be quite a collectors item...

I don't know about the car but I bet Country Dog would want the Schlitz beer.

Thats some pretty interesting reading. It was obviously quite the town event the day they did this. I agree with Jason that I doubt the car will be pristine when they open up the vault. Of course I hope for the best.
Hopefully someone will stay on top of this so we'll know next weekend how it all went.
My only memories of 1957 are going to sign up for kindergarten with my mom, and eveyone standing out in the street looking up at night trying to find Sputnik. I don't know if we really saw it, but we all thought we did.
Damn,, I'm getting old! Danny Durham

Sputnik! That night we all were looking too - and we had just got a cat that day and named it Sputnik. Gee....next car name? Not many would get it.

What's a sputnik? [:-good-:]
