250 FLIGHT International, 16 August Saturn C-5 will be used to launch Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. Right, artist's impression of a C-5 pad at Cape Canaveral, showing crawler vehicle which carries complete rocket, base and tower to pad from assembly building two miles away. Below, before Apollo will come Gemini, in which a two-man craft (right) will practise rendezvous with an Agena stage (left) in Earth orbit ONE contract is yet to be let, and then all major phases of the $20-billion US Apollo project to put a man on the Moon and return him safely before 1970 will be in high gear. Sometime in the next several weeks the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will announce who is to build a lunar excursion vehicle, a 15-ton, 20ft tall, two-man capsule to reach the surface of the Moon from a lunar orbit. With that decision made, the most intensive research and development programme ever undertaken by US industry and government will be underway to assure the success of a seven-day event that will not take place for at least five years. When it is over, the total cost will be equivalent to $1,000 for every US family.
