Power of Place: Tragedy and Triumph at Complex 34

The remains of historic launch facilities dot the landscape at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. They offer a unique tangible connection to the Cold War Space Race and the history of America's space exploration programs. Cape Canaveral has seen more than 8,000 launches since 1950 and the number grows every week. The trials and triumphs of this incredible volume of space launch activity emanate from the remaining historic launch complexes. Nowhere is this power of place more pronounced than Launch Complex 34. This live feed from Cape Canaveral will bring you to mile marker zero on America's race to space
