Thanks for posting, saw this launch as a kid..And as the shuttle retired this morning well...Goodbye and good ridence to an over glorified cargo hauler..We should have stuck with the 1b for orbit runs..sure it can't haul the payload a shuttle could...but can you put a price on 14 lives compared to 3? Tried and tested saturn rockets! Thank you Dr. Von Braun :} Be interesting to see what Nasa's next project is...heard rumours of an Aurora program??
I like those Saturn IB's They have a unique and elegant fin setup at the bottom. Im actually using that design to build a model rocket right now.
