Apollo 11. Powerful floodlights illuminate Apollo 11, Saturn V, the gantry, and Vehicle Assembly Building from all angles. The bright orange and red on the gantry imitate the look of flames, and the entire scene is reflected along the bottom margin of the piece. The caption beneath the framed artwork reads: The night before the launch, Saturn V, with the Apollo 11 spacecraft, is the object of much well-lighted attention by technicians and engineers.
