Here's some rare pictures from the Space Force Museum collection of the Matador, the Cape's first successful operational weapons system. From 1951 to 1961, hundreds of Matador missiles were fired as crews from the First Pilotless Aircraft Squadron, who were often deployed to the Fronts of the Cold War!!

    The cars look different from what we have now, I recognize an Impala and a Corvair! However the rockets look rather similar so I think they got it right way back then. I would have been 2 years old there, but I did get to see it twenty years later!

    Excellent Randy !! I never even knew PanAm was involved. It's a treat to see how different the Cape was in those days. Many of those workers retired right here in Brevard County. New generat ion's have grown up and stayed. If you speak to any person in Brevard County, Fl; you will find a connection to Space, NASA, Cape Canaveral or Patrick AFB. Keep on digging Randy. Great video!!

    The space shuttle system was a remarkable achievement. It could carry huge loads into orbit and even bring them back! America can be proud of the sts. We now know the extremes of spaceflight wore much more heavily on the machinery than was at first thought. Which meant much more servicing and replacement of major components. I never liked the "shuttle" name, sounding so mundane and nothing special. Better would have been "space plane" or "astrodyne" or something like that!
