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. The Apollo 12 Saturn V stack, viewed from above. -------------------- Jonathan Ward Manning the LCC at http://www.apollolaunchcontrol.com
