Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle

The Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle was an American expendable rocket that was in service with NASA in the mid-20th century.
This rocket was used for Project Mercury and was a variant of the classic Redstone missile. It was the first American rocket rated for Humans, and was a single stage rocket which was powered by an alcohol fuel that propelled the Mercury capsules into space. 
In 2024, in a gala held for the Europa Mission astronauts, illustrated depictions of this rocket were seen on the displays "Manned Space Flight 1961-2024" and "Mercury". ( opening credits; )
