In these last 24 hours I have seen the
vast facilities now being created for the greatest
and most complex exploration in man's history. plue
have felt the ground quake and the air shattered by
the testing of a SATURN C-I booster rocket, many
times as powerful as the ATLAS which launched
John Glenn, generating power equivalent to
10,000 automobiles with their gas pedals pushed
he
to the floor. P have seen the site where five
F-I rocket engines -- each one as powerful as
all eight engines of the SATURN combined -- will
be clustered together to launch the Advanced
SATURN vehicle, assembled in a new building
to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48
story structure, as wide as a city block, and as
long as two lengths of this field.
