Tuesday October 23, 2007 - KENNEDY SPACE CENTER: Here are some shots in the Rocket Garden. Note the size of the Saturn 1B, which is displayed on its side. The Atlas rocket is the vehicle that launched John Glenn aboard his Mercury spacecraft Friendship 7. Glenn was the first man to orbit the earth on 20 February 1962. The F-1 engine on display really puts the Saturn V into perspective... there were 5 of these engines on the first stage. Note the person next to the sign on the left (in the shade).
