Stenciled on many of the deactivated facilities at Cape Canaveral
Air Force Station, the evocative phrase "abandoned in place"
indicates the structures that have been deserted. Some structures,
too solid for any known method of demolition, stand empty and
unused in the wake of the early period of US space exploration. Now
Roland Miller's color photographs document the NASA, Air Force, and
Army facilities across the nation that once played a crucial role
in the space race. Rapidly succumbing to the elements and
demolition, most of the blockhouses, launch towers, tunnels, test
stands, and control rooms featured in Abandoned in Place are
located at secure military or NASA facilities with little or no
public access. Some have been repurposed, but over half of the
facilities photographed no longer exist. The haunting images
collected here impart artistic insight while preserving an
important period in history.
