50 years ago to yesterday this rocket sent the first American into space. Back in the good old days when they used rockets to shoot people into space, Alan Shepard only spent 15 minutes in orbit before returning back to Earth. In the photo you can see gas being released out of the cracks of the rocket, making the rocket appear fairly dangerous. This moment 50 years ago was a momentous occasion, and was the start of the United States sending people into space.
