After the Hall of Fame went into bankruptcy and was taken over by a NASA contractor in 2002, the family requested that all their items be returned.[14] All of the items were returned to Grissom's family except the spacesuit, because both NASA and the Grissoms claim ownership of it.[15] NASA claims Grissom checked out the spacesuit for a show and tell at his son's school, and then never returned it, while the Grissoms claim Gus rescued the spacesuit from a scrap heap.[16]
