the 50th anniversary is clearly a huge milestone for the kennedy space centre here on merritt island to showcase what's going on with future space travel, too. but first, i want to get a feel for what the atmosphere was like in the run—up to the monumental event in 1969. i think one of the things that we had throughout the apollo programme that i don't see since — passion. almost everyone were passionate about going to the moon, something that had never been done before. the exhibits here are authentic space—ready vehicles that in the end didn't make the into orbit, including this command service module. and this is the centrepiece. a magnificent saturn v rocketjust like the one that went to the moon. now upright, it's taller than the statue of liberty, with 7.5 million of thrust. now it's comprised of three stages, two of which were jettisoned before the astronauts returned to the earth's atmosphere. it's incredible. between 1967 and 1974, 13 missions launched using a saturn v rocket, including the ten apollo trips. this is one of only three of these rockets left in the world today.
