Vintage match cover from the KoKo Motel in Cocoa Beach, Florida… already open for business by 1959 in the early years of the Space Race, this motel served as the NASA press headquarters for Scott Carpenter’s Mercury-Atlas 7 launch on May 24, 1962, the second ever U.S. manned orbital mission… in 1966, Frank Sinatra Jr. was performing at the KoKo Motel when he learned of his dad’s marriage to Mia Farrow… a Motel 6 now occupies the site… -Tom |
