在7月29日凌晨（世界标准时间）的一张照片中，一枚红石火箭和水星太空舱在卡纳维拉尔角5号发射中心展出。在红石号之外，8分钟的曝光拍摄了SpaceX重型猎鹰火箭的弧线发射过程。猎鹰重型通信卫星的有效载荷达到创纪录的9吨，将被送往距地球约22000英里的地球同步轨道。1961年5月，红石火箭的历史性发射将宇航员艾伦·谢泼德（Alan Shepard）送入了亚轨道太空飞行，高度约为116英里。在框架的顶部附近，猎鹰火箭的两个可重复使用的侧助推器分开并执行短暂的进入燃烧。他们在卡纳维拉尔港的1号和2号着陆区并排返回。

In a photo from the early hours of July 29 (UTC), a Redstone rocket and Mercury capsule are on display at Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 5. Beyond the Redstone, the 8 minute long exposure has captured the arcing launch streak of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The Falcon's heavy communications satellite payload, at a record setting 9 metric tons, is bound for geosynchronous orbit some 22,000 miles above planet Earth. The historic launch of a Redstone rocket carried astronaut Alan Shepard on a suborbital spaceflight in May 1961 to an altitude of about 116 miles. Near the top of the frame, this Falcon rocket's two reusable side boosters separate and execute brief entry burns. They returned to land side by side at Canaveral's Landing Zone 1 and 2 in the distance.
