If you travel to Warren, New Hampshire, you won't be able to miss the gigantic rocket in the middle of the town square. This 8-ton Redstone rocket was given to the town in 1971 when the U.S. government discontinued its mission. Some towns have nice Civil War cannons in the square, but Warren has a REAL showstopper!
This rocket in Warren has a wonderful connection to the Jeff Bezos rocket that lifted off today in the Texas desert to make space travel history.
Jeff Bezos and his crew went to space today in a short but historic flight. The crew touched the edge of space with both the oldest and youngest people ever to pass the "Karman Line," the internationally recognized boundary of space. Bezos (also the first billionaire in space) hopes to make his Blue Origin reusable rocket system a real space business for both payload and passengers.
