{description}   An overhead crane lifts the Saturn V first stage for the Apollo
                11 mission from the transfer aisle floor in preparation for
                stacking on a mobile launcher within the Vehicle Assembly
                Building's High Bay #1. The 138-foot-long first stage will
                generate a liftoff thrust of 7.7 million pounds when it launches
                astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E.
                Aldrin, Jr. on a planned lunar landing mission. Armstrong and
                Aldrin are to descent to the moon's surface in a lunar module
                spacecraft. The fully assembled Saturn V space vehicle is called
                Apollo/Saturn 506. The National Aeronautics and Space
                Administration directs the Apollo Program.
