The Saturn V S-IC - a photo on Flickriver

The Saturn V S-IC

The Saturn V rocket that took Apollo 11 to the Moon stood 363-feet in height, taller than the Statue of Liberty! Its first stage alone, designed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and built at the Michoud Assembly Facility, was 138-feet-tall, nearly half the length of a football field.

In this photo, the Saturn V's first stage (or S-IC) is being lowered to the ground at Marshall after being vibrated and shaken to simulate the effects of an actual rocket launch.
