50 years ago 3 men climbed into a Saturn rocket for the very first time: Apollo VII

Apollo 7 with a Saturn 1B

Saturn 1B next to the Saturn V. Note how the top half of the 1B fits into the V.

Yes, the Saturn V was around but it wasn't until Apollo 8 that anybody climbed into it.
I'm sure they were still a little intimidated by its successful test launch a year before.

November 9th, 1967. 1st Saturn V launch which blew everybody's minds with its power.
