Hey there everyone,

About 15 years ago a friend game me a binder of old missile test photos from the late 50's and early 60's. I started scanning them in year and lost steam but just came across them while cleaning out my computer and figured I'd share them with the community at large as a thank you for all of the entertainment, false scares and ponderous things I've gotten from you all over the years. They're mainly of Pershing and Titan tests but there's a cool one of the Mercury capsule (number 6) in there too. Here is the first one I scanned:
