In 1965, the original and historic “rocket garden” at the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum, began at the Air Force Space and Missile Museum. This is likely a very early image of the museum’s outdoor exhibits—significant, in that 1965 was a pivotal year for NASA and the U.S. space program — arguably the year when the Moon landing became technically plausible. The month that this image was captured, Gordon Cooper & Pete Conrad completed an 8-day mission, for the first time using fuel cells for onboard power and demonstrating that humans could remain healthy for the duration of a Moon mission. Four years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped foot on the moon.
