Lost and Found

While digging through my grandparents’ old slides over the holidays, I discovered a set of nine slides taken at Cape Canaveral during a trip to Florida around 1965.

Cape Canaveral, circa 1965


Having finally gotten my hands on a slide scanner, I’m working on scanning them in and cleaning them up. As the above image shows, they have a bit of dust on them from twenty-odd years spent in storage…at least, I’m hoping it’s dust, and not mildew or the like. They aren’t the best — they appear to have largely been taken from a moving car — but they are interesting nonetheless, showing the Saturn I/Ib towers (one with what appears to be a facilities test mockup), a nearly-completed crawler transporter, and the newly-completed VAB.

I expect to post them this weekend or early next week.
