Description
"Cape Canaveral Lighthouse witnessed the launch of the cape’s first rocket, Bumper 8, on July 24, 1950, and has had a front-row seat for subsequent launches associated with the Gemini, Mercury, and Apollo programs. Rockets still roar into space near the lighthouse (such as the 1972 launch of an Atlas-Centaur rocket shown at left), and just up the coast are the former space shuttle launch pads. The Cape Canaveral lighthouse, however, has been more than just a bystander in the conquest of space. It is said that Wernher von Braun used to stand on the railed gallery outside the lantern room to observe early launches from Complex 4." (lighthousefriends)
