The Launch of Apollo 11 Poster

The Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle climbs toward orbit after liftoff from Pad 39A at 9:32 a.m.--July, 1969. In 2 1/2 minutes of powered flight, the 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. This is the flight that would place man on the moon. This dramatic photo captures the power of the launch and the mission the astronauts are beginning. This would look great on the wall of any home or office.
