Abandoned Space Rocket Found Deep in the Everglades—Tagged and Forgotten

In the middle of the Florida Everglades lies a relic from the space race: a towering, abandoned rocket tagged with graffiti and surrounded by rust and overgrowth. This hidden Cold War-era artifact is part of the long-forgotten Aerojet-Dade Rocket Facility, built in the 1960s to test solid-fuel rocket motors for NASA and the Air Force. Now decaying in the swamp, the rocket has become a surreal canvas for urban explorers—leaving everyone wondering how someone managed to tag the inside walls of a launch-ready beast.
