It's April 27, 1969, and we are just three weeks away from the May launch of Apollo 10 -- the last dress rehearsal before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin attempt to land on the moon this summer. Today we’re talking about the magnificent feat of engineering that will push these brave heroes out of Earth's atmosphere: the Saturn V rocket. It. Is. A. Beast! Standing at more than 360 feet, it is taller than the Statue of Liberty. It was launched for the first time two years ago.
