Random fact of the day: rockets


The Saturn V rocket was 363 feet tall, only one foot shorter than St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Also, check out the size comparison. The little teeny-tiny rocket in the corner was used by Alan Shepard on the first American Mercury launch.

(Oh, and the big thing in the middle was the USSR's proposed moon-launch vehicle)
