    Apollo 11, July 16, 1969. The Apollo 11 rocket is shown pre-launch next to a gantry in the center background of the piece. The launch area is partially obscured by a mound of vegetation. The rounded roof of the blockhouse is visible on the right, and five birds are flying in the air. The piece is outlined in black, and combined with the flat colors is has the loose look of a cartoon.
