“A close-up of the first Saturn C-1 vehicle as it appeared in the countdown today shortly before removal of the service structure. The 1.3 million pound thrust booster is capped by inert upper stages and a “payload”. About ten per cent of the liquid oxygen load had been pumped into the booster tankage when this picture was taken; the remainder of the LOX was loaded following removal of the service structure.”

But also I think sa-1 would be like very repulsed by zonic too like I think if they ever could meet in a casual sense it’d go something like: like from afar it looks like they’re having a good time they’re like joking around a bit and whateva y’know but the whole time sa-1 I’d like wow he’s insane! I need to get away from this guy!,,
#TBT: The First Saturn Rocket Arrives at KSC – Aug. 15, 1961 by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Via Flickr: This week in 1961, the first Saturn I rocket, SA-1, arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The SA-1 mission was used to demonstrate the validity of the clustered engine concept as well as test the aerodynamic and structural design of the Saturn I booster. Here, the S-1 stage for the SA-1 mission is being installed on the launch pad for its Oct. 27, 1961, launch. Today, Marshall is developing NASA's Space Launch System, the most powerful rocket ever built that will be capable of sending astronauts deeper into space than ever before, including to Mars.

"The S-I stages for the Saturn I (SA-1 at right and SA-2 at left) are being assembled at the Marshall Space Flight Center, building 4705. The Saturn I S-I stage had eight H-1 engines clustered, using liquid oxygen/kerosene-1 (LOX/RP-1) propellants capable of producing a total of 1,500,000 pounds of thrust."
