Awesome Project Mercury Photo

I found this on the Wiki page about Project Mercury when I was making sure I hadn't mixed up the Redstone and Atlas rockets.  Every time I see this image I think it's either heavily Photoshopped, a painting, or a sci-fi book cover.  It's a pretty awesome monument.  I'm glad they didn't leave Deke out, even though he didn't fly a Mercury mission.

My husband clued me in to this amazing site produced by UCLA. I haven't had time to go through the whole thing yet, but the timemap feature showing the gradual development and change of the temple complex through time is FABULOUS.  An excellent visual reference and teaching tool.  For me at least, really understanding those sorts of changes through time takes a lot of staring and flipping of maps and/or a visit to the actual site and the leisure to wander as I like.  It's really great to see this sort of thing pulled together and made available for people all over the world!
