S-II-3, the second stage for AS-503, is moved into position for mating with the first stage in the Vehicle Assembly Building at KSC on July 24, 1968. This was the launch vehicle for Apollo 8, at that time planned as the first manned flight of the lunar module.

Thank you again. Just love these photographs. The sense of scale given to this by the five engineers on the walkway in the foreground really shows the vastness of everything during this period.
