scenario
Less than a generation ago, Cape Canaveral rivaled New York City as the world's most recognizable skyline. When a photo of the row of gantries appeared on the front page of a newspaper or on the evening news there was no guessing as to the locale - everyone immediately knew it was Cape Canaveral. Its skyline was unmistakable, bright orange gantries rose up from the beautiful Florida sands. Each gantry tower stood as a sentinel awaiting the next launch to the heavens. Today the skyline of Cape Canaveral is a shadow of its glory years. The historic sites that John Glenn, Gordon Cooper and Neil Armstrong once tread are little more than weed riddled concrete pads. The mighty steel gantries have been long since been sold for scrap. Shadows of Canaveral virtually returns you to the Cape Canaveral of the 1950s and 1960s.people
