Last Saturn V liftoff!
And a great spacewalk, later on, to repair the jammed solar pannel (no pictures exist, only paintings and drawings).

About the current manned space program: the US MUST be thankful to the Russians for helping to keep the space station afloat. To involve the Russians wasn't such a bad idea!
When I think of all those months (years) of criticism against the Russians and their delayed Zvezda module.
Simple technology pays off and even problems such as landing 480 km short of the expected place isn't life threatening.
