COSMIC MESSAGE

Forty years before this image was released, President John F. Kennedy announced the goal of landing Americans on the Moon. This ambition led to the development of the Saturn V moon rocket, seen here. The Saturn V stood over 36 stories tall and had five first-stage engines powered by liquid oxygen and kerosene. This powerful rocket was crucial for the Apollo missions.
