Launch Complex 14 is most well known as the launch site for NASA's Mercury-Atlas 6 flight, which made John H. Glenn the first American in orbit. It was also the launch site of the other Mercury-Atlas flights and various unmanned Atlas launches. Later, it was the site for Atlas-Agena launches, with the Gemini Agena Target Vehicle (GATV), for Project Gemini.
Following decommissioning and abandonment as active launch site, Launch Complex 14 slowly fell into decay. Although a stop on the pre-11 September 2001 public bus tours of Cape Canaveral, the proximity of the site to the Atlantic Ocean created an ideal environment for the corrosion of metal components and the complex's red metal gantry structures were dismantled for safety purposes in the 1970s.

Democracy for Scotland: The Referendum Experience was launched at the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum on 27th April, 2012.
The exhibition was formally opened by MSP Linda Fabiani and the launch was attended by many of the interviewees who contributed their recollections of the 1979 and 1997 devolution campaigns to the Devolution Referendums Oral History Collection at the Scottish Political Archive
Democracy for Scotland focuses on the campaign for a Scottish Parliament in the second half of the twentieth century. In particular it chronicles the history behind the two devolution referendums of 1979 and 1997 and explores the nature of the Yes and No campaigns for both referendums, their results and the re-establishment of a Scottish Parliament.
The exhibition draws largely on the collections of the Scottish Political Archive (SPA). SPA is based at the University of Stirling and is dedicated to collecting oral and other material relating to the political history of Scotland in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The exhibition features referendum campaign materials including leaflets, pamphlets, posters and badges deriving from all the major political parties and umbrella groups. It also offers visitors the opportunity to hear the voices of politicians and campaigners discussing their experiences of the referendums of ’79 and ‘97, the intervening period and the establishment of a Scottish Parliament.

Cover shot story…
Patrick Seabase
"Mountains are different"
we set off very early at 4am, grabbing a free breakfast on the way at a mountain hotel… (just say your'e staying in room 11 and it normally works)
We were looking through photographs making the selection for Fixed 08, when we found a random shot of a supply road leading to the top of the mountain island, by the dam. Patrick had not attempted this descent before, as it is off the main road and normally he rides the 30km straight down without stopping. The surface of the supply road was super sketchy, pitted with pot holes, uneven cobble stones and crumpled tarmac making it almost impossible for him to control skidding… it was good fun and we hope you will like the end result.

I've always wanted to shoot these massive vehicles. In the Sea Launch headquarters building (about 50 yards from where this photo was taken) there is a 1/4 scale WGS satellite model that I built hanging in the lobby.

My brother was a Space Pilot when he was young and one weekend he took his young son and us out to a Rocket Launch. I haven't been to one since I was in my early teens, when he was building rockets
The Space Pilots Club is a Christian boys club that has operated in Toowoomba since 1965. Activities include modelling, rocketry, gyro games, science and optics, all based on the space pilot theme. The rockets (up to one meter) have engines that are ignited and zoom up into the sky and float down with a small parachute (if all goes according to plan)
The launch tower from the outside. The rocket leaves the tower within one second of ignition, and is already doing 65m/s on the way out.
