ARCHIVE POTD - TO THE MOON - Apollo 15 on the launchpad at Cape Kennedy space center on the night before liftoff for a mission to land on the Moon. July 26, 1971 - I was working as a summer intern photographer for the Orlando Sentinel and was assigned to photograph the crowds of people camping on the beach to watch the 9:34AM launch. I shot this photo on a press tour to see the rocket on the pad the night before launch.
