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.
