Description
This is a scaled replica, of the Atlas D rocket, which blasted John Glen into orbit, on February 20, 1962. It was the most powerful US rocket at that time. The rocket was 75 feet tall (22.9 meters), 10 feet (3 meters) in diameter and powered by liquid fuel (alcohol and liquid oxygen). The dark portion near the top, is the capsule, named Friendship 7. The capsule was 9 feet (2.7 meters) long and 6 feet (1.8 meters) across at the base, and weighed 3,000 pounds (1361 kg) after reentry. It circled the earth 3 times and landed in Grand Turk. The orange equipment on the top is the escape rocket and attached tower. Best if zoomed!

WOW....Another fantastic photo Dana, amazing POV as usual, fantastic shot and dedication to our friend Magik, loved it! *************

Excellent POV and capture! :) Imagine being in that little capsule all alone way up yonder.
wonderful capture and great info!!
Very cool capture and wonderful dedication to Magik!
very good shot
Superb clarity, color and detail in this splendid capture, Dana. And since 1962, other than our Apollo missions to the moon, we've been mainly stuck in orbit around our planet. A real sad state of affairs for the manned space program.
Great detail!!
Hey dude your CMOS sensor needs a clean (spots on the left!!!!!!!!!!). Great shot mate BTW!
