On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard piloted the Freedom 7 to became the First American in Space on May 5, 1961. Ten years later, he commanded the Apollo 14 mission, and became the fifth person to walk on the Moon. Today marked the 50th anniversary of Shepard's mission.
The photo above is of a 60s era block house and a replica of the Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle. I shot this photo at the while at the Air Force Space and Missile Museum at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS). Today they're still doing rocket launches at Cape Canaveral both for the US Air Force and NASA.
