3....2...1...

The launch of a 1/10th scale model of a Saturn V:



That model stands over 30' high.

The real thing:



It has been 36 years since the last flight of a Saturn V (launch of the Skylab).

Dear Miss Fit:

Thanks for including the clip of the Apollo XI launch. Got my heart rate up. Now, that was grandeur in engineering. Of late, we seem to have climbed down from the shoulders of giants.

The Saturn V was an awesome rocket. I wish I'd seen it in person. In fact, I'd better make plans soon or I'll miss the last shuttle launch - which I've never seen either.

The model was a great thing, and I'm sure a very satisfying challenge for an individual or small group. But it does make me a little sad too, because we're not doing the big launches anymore.

O tempora.. o mores.

It makes me sad because it shows just how far America has come from being can-do America to being cant-do America. Once upon a time, America could send a man to the moon...
