We then take a NASA bus to observe the roll back of the
Mobile Service Structure (MSS) which has been surrounding the Saturn V rocket
on Pad 39A. Our bus stops just before a road block manned by policemen. We get
out to take photos as the huge gray metal gantry gradually pulls back from the
pad. Unfortunately clouds come in and it is hazy. Afterwards we drive to a
different vantage point where we have a beautiful view of the “naked” Saturn V
which is scheduled to take off tomorrow. Then it is back to the KSC Press Site
for the “Prelaunch Briefing.”
