Dies war auch Teil meines Flohmarktfundes. Authentische Hochglanz-Originalfotos mit handgeschriebenen Bezeichnungsnummern und offiziellen Stempeln. Dies sind nur einige Beispiele dessen, was ich für das Mercury-Programm halte, aber da ich oft falsch liege, können Sie das ruhig sagen.

Four of these photos are of „Little Joe“, a vehicle used to test the Apollo launch escape system. The vehicle self-destructing was not planned, but turned out to be a successful test of the launch escape system.
Is the one slide with rockets and mountains Alamagordo?
Most of these are Little Joe II rockets, used to test the Apollo Launch Escape System, the Nike Hercules one was a 2-20kt surface-to-air nuclear missile meant to knock out entire bomber squadrons at once, 7 is a V2 sounding rocket, which last launched in 1952, long before Project Mercury, and the last one is the rig they used to train the „astrochimps“
