Cape Canaveral, Florida, celebrated 50 years as a launch site. Long before NASA had begun to use the site, the U. S. Army had launched test rockets from the swampy land. The "li'l Bumper" was among the first, according to Dick Jones, a retired U.S. Army master sergeant who had helped with the 1950 launches. During its first 50 years, the Army had launched about 3,200 rockets and missiles from the site, which would eventually become KSC.
