(Main) space
This was a fairly badly degraded image that is almost 60 years old of the launch of the first rocket from Cape Canaveral, the Bumper 2, a modified German V2 rocket captured along with its creators from the Third Reich after the end of the war. I used Noise Ninja to fix this up as much as I could without damaging any of the original detail.

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.

Another archival gem. This photographer had the foresight to back up and capture the others in the act of filming history. Love the dart shaped nose, do you have a date on it?
