I found this incredible nighttime photo of missile row at the Cape and was struck by all of the activity at almost all of the pads. It was truly a great time in 1965 and I wish I could go back for just one day. I hope some of the members here enjoy this.

Very cool photo. But, at the same time, those were some strange times, politically. They were active for a very unsettling reason.

Very cool picture. I always thought I was born 20 years too late (I was born in 1965). Oh, to be a young engineer in those days!
