4..Lambda 4S-5 - The Lambda 4S or L-4S was a 4-stage experimental Japanese expendable carrier rocket. launched five times between 1966 and 1970 with Osumi technology demonstration satellites. The first four launches failed, however the fifth (L-4S-5), launched on 11 February 1970, successfully placed Ohsumi (Osumi-5), the first Japanese satellite, into orbit. This vehicle had no on board guidance system and is, to date, the smallest ground based launch vehicle to place a satellite into orbit. This vehicle provides some interesting lessons to those with small launch vehicle orbital aspirations.

5..1st Beer Keg Rocket - In 2008 Team Numb successfully launched and recovered the 1st ever Beer Keg Rocket. This was an 11 ft tall, 350 lb rocket and the payload was a full, 15-gal keg of Portland's finest beer. they sent the beer keg to over 6,200 ft! The rocket was built of..175 lbs of beer. 60 lbs of Alumaflame solid rocket propellant (looks like gray styrofoam, but burns in a violet flame). 6,200 ft. Perfect flight. Beer shaken, not stirred, and tapped at the landing site. The donut stayed on the nosecone for a surprisingly long time.

It was normally armed with the a nuclear warhead, but could also be fitted with a conventional warhead for export use. Hercules was developed as the successor to the earlier MIM-3 Nike Ajax,and at its peak it was deployed at over 130 bases in the US alone. Hercules remained the US' primary heavy SAM until it began to be replaced by the higher performance and more mobile MIM-104 Patriot in the 1980s. The last Hercules missile was launched in the Sardinian range of Capo San Lorenzo in Italy on November 24, 2006.

43..KSC vehicle assembly building - is the only facility where assembly of a rocket occurred that carried humans beyond low-Earth orbit and on to the Moon. The VAB, which was completed in 1966, was originally built to allow for the vertical assembly of the Saturn V rocket for the Apollo program and referred to as the Vertical Assembly Building. In anticipation of post-Saturn projects such as the Space Shuttle program, it was renamed the Vehicle Assembly Building in 1965, and was used for the Shuttle's external fuel tanks and flight hardware, and to mate the Space Shuttle orbiters to their solid rocket boosters and external fuel tanks. Once assembled, the complete Space Shuttle was moved on the mobile launcher platform and crawler-transporter to LC-39A or LC-39. The VAB will be used for assembly and processing of any future vehicles utilizing Launch Complex 39. Work is on the way getting the VAB ship-shape (or "spaceship-shape") to process the new launch vehicles (SLS). The VAB is one of the largest buildings in the world by area, the VAB covers eight acres, is 525 feet tall and 518 feet wide. The VAB high bay doors are the largest in the world at 456 feet high and take about 45 minutes to completely open or close.
