A snapshot of time📸

Here's another POV of Apollo 11's roll to pad #OTD in 1969 for our fellow history lovers. 💖

55 years ago today, the Apollo 11 rocket crawled along the three-and-a-half-mile journey to Launch Pad 39A.

The 363-foot-high space vehicle later launched Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. on the first crewed lunar landing mission.

Amid the lights from the fixed and rotating service structures, space shuttle Discovery rests at Launch Pad 39B after completing the 4.2-mile journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building.

The rollout was #OTD in 2006 in preparation for the STS-121 mission launch to International Space Station.

#Starliner update:

NASA, Boeing, and ULA are now targeting 3:09pm ET on May 25 for the launch of NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test mission.
