July 1969. It's a little over eight years since the flights of
Gagarin and Shepard, followed quickly by President Kennedy's
challenge to put a man on the moon before the decade is out. It is
only seven months since NASA made a bold decision to send Apollo 8
all the way to the moon on the first manned flight of the massive
Saturn V rocket. Now, on the morning of July 16, Apollo 11
astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins sit atop
another Saturn V at Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center.
The three-stage 363-foot rocket will use its 7.5 million pounds of
thrust to propel them into space and into history.
