Bumper 8 misidentified (APOD 04Jun06)

The caption for the June 4 photo identifies the launch depicted as "Bumper 2." It is clearly Bumper 8, the first launch for Cape Canaveral. This can be verified from the White Sands link for the Bumper program given in the caption or the original NASA photo source.
