Iconic picture of the Mercury 7 Astronaut plaque erected near Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (c. 1964). In the background, you can see the launch gantries for Launch Complex 13 (already outfitted for launching the Atlas-Agena) and Launch Complex 12 in the distance. A remarkable sight that greeted the Air Force workers every morning.
The plaque and time capsule still remain at the site, even though the gantries have disappeared and dense forests of trees now line the sides of ICBM Road.
