This thread had me going back through some of my dad's slides from when he toured KSC in August 1969. I thought you'd enjoy these - which have never been seen publicly before!!!!!
The ascent stage of Intrepid, the Apollo 12 lunar module The base of the first stage of the Saturn V. S-IC-7 at the top of the picture identifies this as the Apollo 12 Saturn V. Note that the fairings just above the fins have been removed. These fairings covered retro rockets that were fired when the first stage separated from the second stage.

And finally:
The CSM translation and docking simulator: The CSM simulator: Control panels for the CSM simulator (badly scanned in conversion from slides, sorry about the stripe): The LM simulator: A lecture on the Portable Life Support System (PLSS), and you can see some water-cooled undergarments in the background. Anyone recognize the lecturer? He looks familiar to me but I can't place him. One of the Apollo 11 moon rocks, less than two months after being taken off of the Moon. oDoug can probably tell you which one it is! And this CM, not sure which mission it was. That's it! Wish I had been there to see this in person! -------------------- Jonathan Ward
