Gemini Launch Pad

Artist: James Wyeth, 1964

Media: Watercolor on paper

 

Description: In the early days of manned spaceflight, technicians responsible for a launch worked in a domed, concrete-reinforced blockhouse, protected from accidental explosions. Although surrounded by cutting-edge technology, the technicians relied on a bicycle for check-up trips to the launch pad.
