July 24, 1950 – The first successful rocket launch occurs at Cape Canaveral.
The rocket, Bumper 8, was a captured German V-2 modified rocket. Offshore tracking of the rocket launch was supported by Navy ships. Telemetry and communications support on Cape Canaveral was provided by equipment and personnel housed in temporary trailers or trucks. Support was also provided by impressive towers and antennas erected near, and in some cases on, the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse. The maximum range of these Bumper flights was about 150 miles. Although seemingly insignificant by modern standards, the stage was thus set for many milestones, with the range of Cape-launched rockets ultimately extended to send men to the Moon and spacecraft to the solar system's outer reaches. Today the surface of the pad contains scars from several bygone missile programs. However, the unbelievable outline of the original Bumper firing table is still clearly visible for all to see.
