Inscriptions Type printed with negative L: (Moon Progress) 2/63 [blacked out]) FUTURE MATE: In April, this 165-foot long booster portion of a Titan II missile \ will receive its mate - the Gemini space capsule. The marriage, due to be celebrated in this test tower in \ Martin-Marietta's Baltimore plant, will constitute an important step toward boosting the two-astronaut \ capsule into space for periods of up to two weeks. All internal tests are conducted in this gantry prior \ to delivery and live testing at Cape Canaveral. Credit: Elliott Erwitt © 1963 MAGNUM Photos
