Probably one of my favorite pictures of all time, Saturn V rocket getting arranged on the launch pad, nine of these took us to the moon, in the 1960’s and 70’s with primitive computers and most math skills being done purely from the operator’s own heads, this one pictured here was actually for the launch of Apollo 13, the recovery of which should definitely go down as a miracle of human spirit and history
