A striking view from VAB Hi-Bay 1 of SA-500F rollout, 25 May 1966.
I like how it’s a little different from the prevalently used/seen view, this having been taken a little earlier during rollout.
“NASA-Apollo-Saturn V, 500-F roll out, from VAB bldg.”
The Mobile Service Structure (MSS) can be seen immediately to the right of the crawlerway, parked in its staging area. Launch Complex 39A, identifiable as the elongate whitish sliver of its elevated concrete pad, beckons in the distance.
The building positioned at an angle (in order to look out on Launch Complex 39) is the Launch Control Center (LCC). In fact, it’s angle reflects the optimism, anticipation & expectation of the future construction of LC-39C, even possibly LC-39D.
