"Exploring the Depths of Science: A Glimpse into HAER's Remarkable Contributions" Step back in time to 1955, when the Anti-proton experiment at Berkeley captivated scientists worldwide. HAER (Historic American Engineering Record) documents this groundbreaking research that paved the way for future discoveries. Travel further into history, circa 1900, and witness the Corliss steam engine in action. This marvel of engineering revolutionized industry and is forever preserved by HAER as a testament to human ingenuity. In 1965, HAER captures an intense moment - the Nuclear missile warning system. As tensions rose during the Cold War era, this system stood as a symbol of both fear and hope for global security. Venture beyond Earth's atmosphere with an interior view of the Space Station Processing Facility. Witness firsthand where astronauts prepare for their extraordinary journeys among stars. Behold from above. An aerial view reveals the mighty Crawlerway - a colossal pathway leading to Launch Pad 39A. It served as a lifeline for countless space missions throughout history. Witness history being made in 1980 as an Orbiter payload canister is raised into position at Launch Pad 39A. The culmination of years of hard work and dedication by NASA engineers and scientists. Fast forward to April 13th, 2010 - experience awe-inspiring precision as a canister is lowered onto the transporter bed at CRF while maintaining its vertical position. Another milestone achieved. Delve into artistry with "Portrait of Theodoor van Zuylen" by Magdalena van de Passe from 1624 – showcasing how HAER preserves not only scientific achievements but also cultural heritage. HAER takes us behind closed doors in 1957 with Napalm bomb production documentation – shedding light on controversial aspects that shaped our world during times of conflict. Marvel at Carding machines circa-1900.
