Anyone know the approximate distance from Hangar S to Pad 5 at the Cape?

Just over 3 miles if you draw a straight line from Hangar S to Pad 5, of course, a little longer if you take the roads that Shepard and Grissom travelled on to reach the MR-launch pad from Hangar S.

3.5 miles as the crow flies or 4.75 miles by road.
