"This is MR-4 in the final minutes of the mission countdown on
July 19. In the background is the rocket's service structure, which
was moved to the edge of the pad at T-60. Shortly thereafter the
'cherry picker' was stationed at the spacecraft's hatch to permit
emergency egress of the pilot, if necessary." |
