Processing flow for an Atlas A rocket; the rocket undergoing transportation from its manufacturing facility in San Diego, California, installation atop the Launch Complex and the Mobile Service Structure and liftoff. 

The rocket shown above was Atlas 4A, the first Atlas rocket to ever fly. It crossed the Suwannee river in Florida in December 1956, was installed atop LC-14 on March 21, and launched June 11, 1957. The Atlas family of rockets celebrated six decades of service June 11, 2017.

I had the privilege of visiting LC-14 earlier in 2016, where Glenn and his fellow orbital Mercury astronauts took flight. While the blockhouse remains, all that is left of the launch pad is the concrete ramp and pedestal; the metallic service gantries were removed long ago.

At the entrance to the launch complex is the Mercury Seven monument, which was dedicated in 1962 and features a time capsule to be opened in 500 years.
