With its gigantic eight-engine power plant carrying a full loai of fuel for the first time, the world's largest known rocke thundered away from its launch pad at 12:45 p.m. on a brief flight of less than five minutes. Only the first stage was fired. Minutes after launching, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration reported that Saturn No.

3 had performed as well as its two predecessors, and the United States had taken another long stride toward its goal of landing men on the moon in this decade. As the 162-foot, 550-ton rocket reached the high point of its trajectory, about 104 miles up and 130 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral, a radio signal from the ground set off dynamite charges to blow the rocket apart as planned. This action, 4 minutes and 55 seconds after launching, spewed 23,000 gallons of water into the frigid upper atmosphere to create a huge cloud of ice particles. The water, weighing 95 tons, simulated weight of upper stages to be carried on future Saturns.

Men of the 1st Brigade were to roll their tanks and trucks off of four big LSTs (landing ships, tank) onto the beaches of Hutchinson Island at high tide.
