Looking down on the Apollo-Soyuz mission rocket from the thirty-story level of the mobile launcher, while it makes it's way toward the launch pad – LC 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Saturn 1B rocket sits atop a pedistal that allows it to use the same launch structure as the much taller Saturn V rockets that carried astronauts to the Moon. In the distance it the huge Vehicle Assembly Building, where the rocke was first matted to the Crawler that now carries it toward the launch pad at a speed one-and-a-half miles per hour.
