Unknown Saturn V rolling out of the Vehicle Assembly Building.

Incredible.

The Beast…

The sexy beast. Most magnificent launch vehicle ever built. Just looking at it gets me all giddy and wasn’t even alive when one launched.

“Geologist-Astronaut Harrison Schmitt, Apollo 17 Lunar Module pilot, is photographed next to the American Flag during extravehicular activity (EVA) of NASA’s final lunar landing mission in the Apollo series. The photo was taken at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. The highest part of the flag appears to point toward our planet earth in the distant background.”
