Where did this awesome Titan II photo come from?
I ran across a great photograph of the most recent Titan II launch, which I put up for the beauty of it at http://nebusresearch.wordpress.com/2...march-16-1962/ But I ran across it on an old hard drive with all trace of its origin lost. Can someone help pin down who deserves credit for it, even if it does just turn out to be the Press Release Division of NASA? -- http://nebusresearch.wordpress.com/ Joseph Nebus Current Entry: What Numbers Equal Zero? http://wp.me/p1RYhY-7F ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Looks like one of the refurbished Tital II ICBMs to me. |

I have two other photos of the same launch, but none have EXIF information. My best guess is that they are official USAF photos (NASA had nothing to do with it) but they've long since dropped off the Vandenberg AFB website. Brian |

Brian Yeah, the gantries and background hills make it a VAFB launch. Ken |

That's got to be the right image and that seems like a believable credit and source. -- http://nebusresearch.wordpress.com/ Joseph Nebus Current Entry: What Numbers Equal Zero? http://wp.me/p1RYhY-7F ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

I suppose it isn't likely there's going to be another one to follow up (there's not even any stages outside museum pieces out there, are there? Even engines?) but, I also like saying Harrison Schmitt was the most recent man to set foot on the Moon. -- http://nebusresearch.wordpress.com/ Joseph Nebus Current Entry: What Numbers Equal Zero? http://wp.me/p1RYhY-7F ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
