Erasing History
Today a 179-foot steel tower, that helped launch Atlas-Agena rockets in the 1960's, was demolished.
The Atlas-Agena rockets were used to map the moon to select suitable landing sites for later Apollo missions. This was a vital launch platform for many payloads in the early days of space exploration.
This was an aging structure that was enviromentally and structurally unsound.
Just another way for NASA to erase the memories of what we had once done in space [and have not accomplished since].
