For it came with no press or fanfare gale

50 years ago the Florida Legislature voted 88:1 to make "Cape Kennedy" again: ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00027772/00011/ and news.google.com/newspapers?id=. The Senate had done so already in April: facebook.com/photo/?fbid=70468. President LBJ had announced "Cape " in a television speech a few days after JFK's assassination: youtube.com/watch?v=4FFrfbFM8B or blog.americanarchive.org/2014/ from 7:30, but the name - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Can - had fallen out of favor. The Kennedy Space Center could retain it, though.

Service Tower that sits over the pad and helps stack the rocket and protect it from weather.
At launch time, it rolls back, leaving the rocket exposed and ready to launch.
The gray Fixed Umbilical tower on the left of the Mobile Service Tower serves as an umbilical support providing the rocket with LOX and LH2 until launch.
The two towers on either side of the Mobile Service Tower are Lighting Arrestor Towers.
The scrubland can be seen at the bottom of the image, as well as the Banana River.

: 2, or Gemini-Titan 2, the second launch of the Gemini aboard the II . This is the spacecraft from that suborbital flight meant to test the . After finding its performance satisfactory, the Gemini program went ahead.
The Air Force remained interested in Gemini while moved on to Apollo.
They launched the same spacecraft from on top of a mockup of the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, a crewed spy satellite, to test the potential of putting a hatch in the heat shield.
After recovery, its performance was found to be satisfactory, but uncrewed spy satellites were found to be cheaper.
The spacecraft is on display at the Air Force Space and Missile Museum at Cape Canaveral.
