LC-17, Then and Now

On the left, an old slide taken by my grandparents in early 1965. On the right, the same area today, if not quite the same view. I'm still not convinced that the slide isn't backwards and taken from the coastal side of the towers. The orientation guide here was the equipment on the top of the towers, which is shaped vaguely like a slipper, and is plainly visible in both shots - the problem was, the new shots taken from the coastal side of the towers match up even less well.

An Atlas (left) and Thor (right). Taken during a visit in late June, 1976. This area is now part of the KSC visitor center, and some of these same bits and pieces are probably still on display .
