"Long before Space Shuttles were lifting off from the Kennedy Space Center, what is now the Cape Canaveral Air Station was launching America's rockets. You don't hear too much about Cape Canaveral Air Station today, other than the fact that it launches unmanned missions. To correct this Rob Svirskas, the author, built the site using photos from his personal tour of the historic liftoff site accompanied by interesting descriptions."

"Blast off with a true space fan for a control-room perspective of the Cape Canaveral Air Station. The author built the site using photos from his 1996 tour of the historic liftoff site. Enter the main gate and move through images of scorched launch pads, rockets, blast deflectors and room-sized computers. Each photo is accompanied by interesting narrative and rocket specifications."

   Final Frontier (featured "Cyberspace" site)
September/October 1998 issue
"America's space program got off the ground - literally - at Cape Canaveral. However, many of the launch sites are overlooked by or are inaccessible to the public. This Web site offers a virtual photographic tour of the Cape, from old missile test stands to the Mercury and Gemini launch pads and the site of the Apollo 1 accident."

   SpaceViews Space Site of the Week
week of June 1, 1998
http://www.spaceviews.com/award/9806.html
"The Air Force's Cape Canaveral Air Station is where the United States' space program literally got off the ground. Although overshadowed today by its neighbor, NASA's Kennedy Space Center, CCAS is still used today for a wide range of unmanned launches. This virtual tour, by Rob Svirskas, is a series of photos of CCAS, including areas both accessible to the public (like the Air Force Space Museum) and facilities usually not seen by the public. It's a great way to take a look at a lesser-known side of the Cape!"
