Apollo 11 liftoff
NASA, 1969
Straight up. The tower is already a stick they have passed. Three men in the bright tip, getting smaller on purpose. The sky will not follow them.
About this work
This NASA photograph shows the Apollo 11 space vehicle lifting off from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, at Kennedy Space Center at 9:32 a.m. EDT on July 16, 1969. The stack stood 363 feet tall: a Saturn V rocket carrying the Apollo command and service modules, Columbia, and the lunar module, Eagle. On board were Neil Armstrong, the commander, Michael Collins, the command module pilot, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, the lunar module pilot. All three were on their second and last spaceflight. Apollo 11 was the first mission to land people on the Moon. Four days after this launch, Armstrong and Aldrin flew Eagle down to the Sea of Tranquility while Collins stayed in lunar orbit. The Saturn V was a three-stage, liquid-fuelled rocket, and all thirteen that flew between 1967 and 1973 launched from Complex 39. It was the first launch vehicle to carry people beyond low Earth orbit. NASA catalogues this frame as S69-39961.
