See the demolition of NASA's rocket launcher complex in the blink of an eye

When it's no longer useful, NASA's Launch Complex 17 rocket launcher has been demolished to make way for another more convenient building.

The Launch Complex 17 rocket launcher complex at Cape Canaveral Air Station is the site of numerous rocket launches by NASA and the US military.

This is the launch site of dozens of Delta missiles in the past few decades.

Launch Complex 17 was originally built to launch Thor's rocket in the 1950s of the last century. This is also the launch site of dozens of Delta missiles in the past few decades. However, something too old will be time to break up and give way to something new.

These towers used to be the site of several spacecraft belonging to NASA's high-end missions over the past few years, including Pioneer, Spirit and Opportunity probes. However, since 2011, NASA has decided to move the launch site of the Delta missile to Vandenburg air base.

Therefore, these two launch towers were gradually forgotten and were almost no longer used for any purpose.

In order to change the purpose of use, it was decided to demolish towers to make room for new, specific things such as the launch site for start-up Moon Express, the company that won the space competition. Lunar XPrize by Google.
