Description
Its funny to think that it was 37 years ago today the first moon mission was returning to Earth.
From the Mission profile transcript....
"Transearth injection began at 04:54:42 UT on 22 July with a 2 1/2 minute firing of the CSM main engine. A mid-course correction was made later on 22 July."
37 years later I was lucky enough to be able to stand next to a magnificent Saturn V rocket.

Is quite remarkable isn't it? Good shot!

Strange this...I don't remember the last/tail section looking like that...

The tail looks like that because it's a Saturn Ib, not a Saturn V.

Nice shot. I would liked to of seen someone standing close to the rocket for comparrison of scale, but that's just me. It still looks huge though!!!

I wondered about the bottom section too! Thanks for the correction.

Great shot, Anthony. Nice to see these rockets. Probably more on display than NASA can now use, unfortunately. Space exploration does not win oil resources or votes ( electronic or paper ), it would seem. Regards, John.

Very kewl shot..I like your POV, sometimes odd shaped objects are quite hard to figure out the proper perspective. You did a great job here shooting this relic...Nicely done! Aloha!
