The Saturn launch was an earthquake in the air! It was very impressive in every way.

That is what I have been told. I'm too young for Apollo and never saw a shuttle launch but did get to see a satellite launch. We were on vacation and stopped by the water a few miles from the launch site. We thought it was impressive. We were also told that we were lucky to be able to see a launch on our first try. Apparently delays for one reason or the other are pretty common.

I sure hope you went to the museum and took the tour! There is a Saturn V on display within the NASA facility. You just don't understand how big the Saturn V was until you see one up close. Seeing pictures of the Grand Canyon is similar to seeing pictures of the Saturn .... it isn't the same!

Apollo skeptics sometimes change their minds after viewing real space hardware. The Saturn sure looks big enough to heft a tiny LEM and CM/CSM to the moon.
