2001-07-13
| The
site you now see is the result of a major redesign. Individual changes are
too numerous to mention, but here's a summary: every photo has been
rescanned (they're larger and higher quality), many new photos have been added,
and additional Complexes, facilities, and historical visits have been
added.
For historical purposes, changes to the old site are listed below. |
|
2000-08-26
| It seems that the aerial for Complex 40 was really an aerial of Complex 41 (thanks to
Brian Seidl at Lockheed Martin for pointing this out). We now have both
Complex
40 and Complex 41, and the photos aren't swapped. |
2000-05-27
| Added an aerial of Complex 40. |
2000-03-05
| Added an aerial of Complex 34. Also added a photo of
fuel line supports at Complex
34. |

21/22. Thanks to Cliff
Lethbridge for the correction. |

& Missile Museum. |

| Added two more aerials from Joe Marino: Complex 36 and
Complex 13. |
1999-11-06
| Added a Tour map. I'll be working on making a better looking one, but this should give
an idea where the Complexes are in relation to each other. |
1999-10-30
| Added an aerial view of Complex 17. This is the first in a series of aerial photos by Joe
Marino, a staff photographer for the National Space Society. |

missile. Also added a new page with information on

1999-06-25
| Fixed erroneous information regarding the contents of the missile silo at
Complex 31.
The silo does not contain the remains of the Apollo 204 capsule. It may be in a storage
facility in Langely. Thanks to Kay Grinter, Gary White, and Laurel Lichtenberger for the
correction. |
1999-05-08
| Added a feature to some pages that will allow you to "go back in time" and visit the site
when it was active (or in the case of active facilities, a few decades ago when the facility
looked different). There's just a handful now, but I'll continue to add them. Try it for
Complex 19: just click on the watch () when you get there. |
1999-04-19
| Added some additional information regarding the launch facilities at Complex
34. |
1999-03-31
