1969. The Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle climbs toward orbit after liftoff
from Pad 39A. In 2 1/2 minutes of powered flight, the S-IC booster lifts
the vehicle to an altitude of about 39 miles some 55 miles downrange.
This photo was taken
with a 70mm telescopic camera mounted in an Air Force EC-135N plane. Onboard
are astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin,
Jr.
