Launch Complex 14 – Biking through Space Ruins – (Part 2)
After leaving the entrance to Launch Complex 14 marked by several memorials and signs commemorating Project Mercury and the four of six crewed Mercury missions launched there the road travels northeast and soon you come into view of the Launch Blockhouse.
Below are several photos of the road that leads to the Blockhouse, the Mercury & Memorial and a beautiful sunrise over the launch site and Block House.
About the Author and Photographer: Alden Pitard has over 40 years experience working in the Aerospace Industry at Cape Canaveral, The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and Boeing locations throughout the country. He has supported the Space Shuttle Program, International Space Station, 787 Dreamliner and most recently the Artemis Program. During his time at "The Cape" he photographed a majority of the Launch Sites at KSC and Cape Canaveral. As the Space Shuttle program was coming to a close in 2011, the author decided to bike to all the Launch Complexes he could and capture the Space Center and Cape Canaveral as it was - thus "Biking through Space Ruins".
