A beautiful day to go exploring and find a “monument” I heard about years ago: a former soldier stationed in Huntsville, Alabama, managed to get permission to relocate a non-operational Redstone Rocket to his hometown in Warren, NH. He and some volunteers put the 8-ton rocket shell on a truck and had an adventurous journey to relocate it. The town voted to accept the rocket and so made a piece of space history real to local children. Alan Shepard, another NH native son, wrote a note to the town’s Historical Society thanking them for their interest in pace history.
As one of my friends noted of the picture: A land rocket in front of a space rocket.
