Photo of the Day - Saturn I

[tbutler]

The Saturn I, first in the line of Saturn rockets that sent people to the moon. From the U.S. Rocket & Space Center, Marshall Space Center, Huntsville, AL.

Note that this is the smallest of the Saturn rockets. It was only used to launch boilerplate tests of the Command/Service module, along with a couple of research satellites.




So, for scale? See the people at the lower-left.

Oooooooooh.

Wow, that is a big rocket. :) Even if the littlest of the series!

You ain't seen nothing yet...

...just wait for tomorrow. :)

Huntsville is at least closer to you than Kennedy Space Center, but probably not enough. :(
