| It is definitely a Mercury-Atlas rocket, most likely manned as this picture is taken from film footage and few of the Atlas ICBM's and even fewer unmanned Mercury-Atlases were filmed. | Chef G | New Mexico USA | 3 | |
| But none of the manned mercuries blew up. The only fatalities in the US space program before the 1980's were the 3 astronauts in the Apollo 1 "Dress Rehersal" fire. | Ben | Columbus OH | 2 |
