Yet another great shot Ed!On a lighter note - the Saturn 1's sitting on that launch stool always made me think of a little kid sitting on phonebooks to reach the dinner table... |

After always seeing the Saturn V on that launch platform, the Saturn 1B looks like a toy! |

The perspective on this photo really works some magic -- seeing the flowers "so large and close" really does make the Saturn look like a toy. Man, Ed: what a great, fun shot! |

I remember seeing that Saturn sitting on the pad. Seems like yesterday.Ah, but to have witnessed [and felt] a Saturn V launch from the VAB. THAT would have been something. |
